NV Maison Valette Mâcon-Villages, Burgundy, France

The Valette family has farmed Chardonnay in Chaintré, in the southern Mâconnais, for three generations, organically for more than 20 years. Time is their main ingredient. Wild fermentations in barrel can run for months, and the wines age for years on their lees before release, so each bottling blends several vintages. This Mâcon-Villages is mineral and fruity with a lovely, lively attack. It’s great with seafood, fish or a cheese board, and there’s plenty to share in a magnum.
