Vallet Frères, Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Earthy, strawberry fruit and a light pepperiness, with mouthwatering acidity, gentle ripe tannins, elegance and purity.
Producer Information
Founded in 1864 by Pierre Bourée, Vallet Frères is now in the hands of the fourth generation of the family. The family owns vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Beaune Premier Cru of Les Epenottes, and in the Grand Cru of Charmes-Chambertin, as well as the entire monopole vineyard of Clos de la Justice, also in Gevrey-Chambertin.
Vallet Frères is also a négociant, and sources the best grapes from growers in other areas, with whom it has worked closely for decades. The wines it produces are complex, fine and authentic examples of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Wine Making
Grapes are hand-harvested and are sourced from several parcels in Couchey, Meursault and Gevrey-Chambertin. Up to 50% of the bunches are destemmed and these grapes along with the remaining whole bunches are put into open top wooden tanks and gently crushed followed by daily pumping over. Since yeasts are an expression of the individual vintage and vineyard only the natural grape yeasts are used for the fermentation. The wine has a traditionally long vatting period of around 20 days and is then decanted into oak barrels of which 20-30% is well toasted new oak. After 16-18 months on the fine lees, the wine is racked and rests for a month before bottling.
Tasting Note
Earthy, strawberry fruit and a light pepperiness, with mouthwatering acidity, gentle ripe tannins, elegance and purity.
Food Matching
Serve with a traditional Coq au Vin. Roast chicken or young game birds and equally good with pasta bakes or wild mushroom linguine.
