Complex and fine, the wines from Vallet Frères have a great following.

(Tasting notes July 2013) Nose of toasted honey almonds and a hint of lime.
Still slightly underdeveloped and a little bitter, wood a little too prominent, notes of cooked lemons and mild tobacco! lots of length, high acidity.
Verdict. A bit unbalanced at present but should develop, needs six months in the bottle or a good opening
.

Strawberry fruit balanced with silky tannins, perfectly weighted and structured. A great example of Pinot Noir at its most appealing. Attractive drinking now, but good for 2 to 3 years of cellaring.

Classic Nuits St Georges with fresh red berry fruits. Medium bodied with plenty of juice and black pepper.

Top notch Chablis - young but very forward.
