Domaine Valma 2022 Fleurie

Domaine Valma, located in the Fleurie appellation of Beaujolais, is a recently formed (2021) and highly regarded estate founded by Valentine and Stéphane Mathieu. Valentine oversees the vineyard and cellar work, while Stéphane manages marketing and sales. The name Valma is an anagram of Valentine’s first and last names; and also suggests, etymologically, Val (valley in Old French) + Alma (nourishing spirit in Latin).

The Domaine comprises 5.5 hectares in Fleurie, with vineyards cultivated on degraded pink granite soils ideal for Gamay. The estate practices organic viticulture, currently in official conversion. Traditional vine training methods such as goblet and éventail are employed, alongside double cordon de royat pruning.Beaujolais. Importer Notes
