Quality drinking. Not sure the price but if it's less then $40 this is a massivr bargain. Mineral - soft lemon citrus notes. Balanced acidity - long lingering finish. Refreshing and very good. Cellar potential up to 10 years max.

Incredibly zesty and crystal like for a wine so southern in Burgundy ! It reminds me of Chablis in terms of style for the body and citrus notes and Macon for the slight toasty flavour and roundness in mouth. Delicious and refreshing.

Head over heels in love with this new discovery. Lightness of fruit and weight that is unusual in Macon, even in the cool 2011 vintage.

To finish things off, first time tasting Valette and certainly not my last!

Really good. Just has this dimension you want to bite into. Similar to chablis in some ways. Tight in the best way. Need way more than a glass of this. A hint of pear but this is not about the fruit. Awesome.

Citrus, hint of green tea. Austere like a Chablis but with a nutty finish.
