Maison Valette is a renowned winemaker specializing in natural wines from Burgundy. Three generations of winemakers have worked this 8.5 ha estate in Chaintre, a small village in the south of Burgundy between the Mâcon and Beaujolais.
After finishing wine school in 1990, Philippe decided to convert the vineyards to organic practices. The transition was challenging, as traditional wine education did not include organic viticulture. Over time, Philippe trained his chardonnay plots to maximize terroir expression without chemical treatments, relying instead on the diverse microbiological life in his vineyards to produce dynamic wines.
Depending on the cuvée and vintage, Philippe ages his wines in old oak barrels for periods ranging from 6 months to 5 years. He is considered one of the pioneers of natural winemaking in the Mâcon and is highly respected for his deep knowledge of vine biology.
