Maison Valette Mâcon-Chaintré Multi Vintage 2018/2019/2021
Valette manages to make simply stunning wines, that have a decent amount of oak ageing and are absolutely preservative free. The Mâcon has a saline character that wraps around the ripe pear and quince fruit, making it mega fresh. The Valette family has lived in the small village of Chaintré for three generations, which is so far South in Burgundy that it almost touches Beaujolais. A Chardonnay for those who aren't really into Burgundy whites, but want the satisfaction of a complexity and freshness to accompany a delicate grilled snapper with a delicious sauce.
