Presentation
The name of this Premier Cru is derived from the Latin word "vallis" meaning "small valley".
This wine comes from the blending of several Climats of the hill of "Vaillons", mainly the Climate of "Epinottes" where the soil contains a high proportion of clay. The combination of several plots with variations in topography boat great aromatic complexity.
