The family own holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin; the entire monopole vineyard of Clos de la Justice, Premier Cru Beaune Epenottes and Grand Cru Charmes-Chambertin. They are also négociants and source the best grapes from growers in other areas, with whom they have worked closely for decades. The Burgundies they produce are complex, fine and authentic examples of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The family’s wines have been imported to the UK for over 30 years and today, they’re distributed to top independent wine merchants and Michelin-starred restaurants across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeursault lies between the villages of Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet and produces some of the world's greatest white wines. Vallet Frères keep their vines at low density and use extremely strict pruning practices (7 buds to a cane) to maintain low yields. Traditional methods are also adopted in the vineyards - in the last 50 years only manure has been used on the mainly limestone soil and harvesting is by hand in order to select the best grapes. One of an increasingly small number of producers in the Côte d'Or who continue to use ultra-traditional winemaking techniques. Grapes are selected from vines with a minimum age of 20 years and after pressing the juice is decanted then fermented in open wooden casks using only natural yeasts and no temperature control. The white wines are left on their lees for an extended period and aged in French oak barrels for at least 6 months depending on the vintage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVallet Frères Meursault wine \u003c\/strong\u003ehas a fine and mineral nose with some subtle incense and spice.
