Domaine Valette Et Pourtant 2019

Domaine Valette’s 2019 Et Pourtant is a striking expression of Chardonnay from the limestone-rich soils of Vire-Clesse. With vines averaging 60 years old, this wine reveals remarkable depth and precision. The nose is layered with citrus peel, white stone fruits, and subtle floral notes, while the palate delivers rich, textured flavours complemented by minerally freshness and gentle lees complexity. Extended aging in older barrels for 30 months adds weight and finesse without masking the vineyard’s purity.

A wine of structure and elegance, it rewards careful decanting and pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy seafood, or soft-rind cheeses.
