Meet the producer
Founded in 1864 by Pierre Bourée, Vallet Frères is now run by the fourth generation, Jean-Christophe Vallet. The estate is renowned for crafting terroir-driven Burgundies with precision, respect for tradition, and sustainable viticulture practices.
Production
Vines are sustainably managed and trained using Guyot pruning. Grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, and partially de-stemmed (up to 25%) before fermentation with native yeasts in open wooden vats alongside whole clusters. Gentle daily pump-overs extract flavour and colour over a 20-day fermentation. The wine is then aged for 16–20 months on fine lees in oak barrels, enhancing complexity and texture.
Tasting notes
Aromas of morello cherry, raspberry, and hints of blackcurrant and liquorice. The palate is fresh and firm, offering fine tannins and a lively, balanced structure that will evolve gracefully with age.
Food match
Pairs beautifully with vegetable gratin, roast pork loin, or soft, creamy cheeses such as Savarin or Epoisses.
