With the 2014 Auxey Duresse, Agnès Paquet presents the thirteenth vintage of this delicious wine with its charming fruitiness. Here, the Pinot Noir expresses itself through its roundness, suppleness, and aromas of morello cherry and blackcurrant buds.

Wine rating (2016 guide) 16/20 (2013 vintage) (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Agnès Paquet produced her first vintage in Meloisey in 2001 from a family-owned vineyard in Auxey-Duresses. She has masterfully managed her estate and now oversees 12.5 hectares in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Auxey-Duresses, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Saint-Aubin, where the vines are tended with care, following organic principles. The whites are crisp and refined, and the reds—partially vinified from whole clusters—are precise and full-bodied. Of note is the production of a house sparkling wine, made using the traditional method and produced exclusively from Aligoté.

About the estate:
Agnès Paquet established her winery in 2000 on a plot of land acquired by her family in the 1950s. Located in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, she cultivates 9.5 hectares of vineyards, most of which are in Melin, a hamlet of Auxey-Duresses. The transition to organic farming is underway.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
It was to prevent the sale of the family vineyard in Auxey-Duresses that Agnès Paquet, a business school graduate, decided to become a winemaker. She released her first vintage in 2001. Her style consistently emphasizes honesty and freshness, which we greatly appreciate.
