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:

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.
