By aging her Burgundy Pinot Noir in concrete tanks, Agnès Paquet highlights the freshness of red fruit and its rich, indulgent character. The crisp acidity blends beautifully with the wine’s supple structure. A great value!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (2013 vintage) (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide): 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, though a bit 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 cultivated with care, following organic principles. The whites are crisp and refined, and the reds—partially vinified from whole clusters—are precise and full of flavor. Of particular note is the estate’s house sparkling wine, produced using the traditional method and made exclusively from Aligoté.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Agnès Paquet founded her estate in 2000 on a plot of land her family had acquired in the 1950s. Located in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, she cultivates 9.5 hectares of vineyards, a large portion 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 estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
It was to prevent the sale of the family’s vineyard in Auxey-Duresses that Agnès Paquet, a business school graduate, chose to become a winemaker. She released her first vintage in 2001. Her style consistently emphasizes honesty and freshness, which we greatly appreciate.

Quite harsh and almost exclusively acidic. I had a hard time finishing my glass and didn't pour myself another...
