Clos de Monsieur Noly, Exceptional wine, rich and voluptuous, beautiful tension, incredible length in the mouth. . Baptiste Valette is Philippe's younger brother and he is also a remarkable winemaker. He took over from their father, notably to produce these two gems: Clos Reyssié and Clos de Monsieur Noly. And I assure you, Baptiste!
Le Clos de Monsieur Noly is starting to rub shoulders with the greatest whites of the Côte de Beaune! A jewel....
DOMAIN
Philippe Valette is a wine lover, respectful of the soil and the vines and an outstanding winemaker. 15 hectare estate located in the Mâconnais.
A fan of highly ripe harvests and long aging. The wines combine power and minerality, expressing an incomparable style.
The estate has been organically cultivated for over 20 years now. Located in Chaintré, straddling the Mâconnais and Beaujolais, the vines are made up of Chardonnay only.
The estate has followed the principles of biodynamics since 1992. The natural balance of the soil and the vines are at the heart of the concerns here. Regular scratching of the soil and grassing lead to deep development of the root system.
In principle, the estate does not subscribe to organic certification because Philippe considers that “it is up to the conventional to be transparent about their practices” and not for him to prove that he works without chemicals. He never wanted to pay to be free to work on the living.
Very long aging on lees (72 months for certain vintages!) and in barrels, without support, carefully refine the wines and reveal all the grandeur of the Domaine's terroirs. A non-existent or very small amount of sulfur is used in each of the wines, which are neither filtered nor fined.
