Pouilly Fuissé Clos de M. Noly

Maison Valette
Picture a tiny walled plot in the heart of the Mâconnais, farmed with real care by a family that lets the vines do the talking. Old Chardonnay roots dig deep into limestone-rich soils, giving grapes picked late and bursting with ripeness. Fermentation happens slowly, naturally, with native yeasts and long ageing on fine lees — no shortcuts, no heavy oak. What you get in the glass is golden, generous and wonderfully textured: think ripe pear, honeycomb, toasted hazelnut and a saline twist that keeps everything fresh. Pour it with roast poultry, creamy cheeses or simply on its own. You'll want a second bottle.
