Profile

コート・シャロネーズ地区のモンタニィ・レ・ビュクシーに拠点を置くロミュアルド・ヴァロは、この地のテロワールを実直に表現する小規模な造り手である。ドメーヌが所有する畑は、本拠地であるモンタニィ・レ・ビュクシー村内のプルミエ・クリュ「レ・レス」の1カ所のみという極めて限定的な体制を敷いている。特級畑は所有せず、この唯一の1級畑に全精力を注ぎ込むことで、土地の個性を純粋に引き出すことに特化しているのが特徴だ。ブルゴーニュの広大なワイン地図において、特定の区画に深く根ざしたそのストイックな姿勢は、ドメーヌのアイデンティティを明確に形作っている。限られたリソースを一つの秀逸なクリマに集中させることで、モンタニィのポテンシャルを追求する実力派の生産者といえる。
