Maison Valette was established in the early 1900s by the Valette family in the village of Vergisson, adjacent to Pouilly‑Fuissé. For three generations they’ve refined their approach to hillside Chardonnay, transitioning in the 1970s from bulk to estate bottling to spotlight their finest terroirs. In the 1990s, they embraced precision viticulture, green harvesting, low-cropping, and site specific selection across Kimmeridgian marl slopes, to enhance minerality and tension. Their evolution from regional winegrower to a focused domaine producer underscores a commitment to stylistic clarity and vineyard authenticity within the Mâconnais.
Sourced from 50+ year-old vines on Vergisson’s steep Kimmeridgian limestone slopes, the ‘Tradition’ cuvée showcases the tension and mineral clarity Pouilly-Fuissé is known for. Long élévage on fine lees builds layered texture, while natural fermentations bring lifted citrus, hazelnut, and saline persistence. This is a structured, age-worthy expression that balances oxidative breadth with precise terroir articulation—an archetype of traditional Mâconnais purity through the Valette family’s low-interventionist lens.
