Tasting Notes
The Valmur vineyard covers around 12 hectares in total, forming a small valley in the heart of the Grand Cru slope. It is quite literally wedged between Vaudésir and Grenouilles on its left and Les Clos on its right. An extreme mesoclimate; Valmur gets very cold in winter and hotter than average in summer. It’s a site that lends itself, vigneron's interpretation aside, to authoritative and intense wines of serious depth and power. The Domaine farms a 0.60 hectare parcel that was planted in 1978 and this wine was raised in used barrels of various sizes. Situated next door to the vines of Raveneau, Moreau’s plot is a cooler, shaded site that takes time to warm up.
This fact, combined with the steepness of the slope, leads to the wine’s usual strong mineral, saline imprint. A chiseled, deep Valmur wrapped in layers of glorious fruit yet without a trace of heaviness. - Importer Note
Less is more! Minimal intervention or Lo-fi wines encapsulate those producers who keep additions and manipulations to a minimum during the winemaking process. This means the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and unfined, and only add sulfur during the process.
