(2013 Vintage Notes)

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

Rated wine (2016 guide) 15/20 (2013 vintage) (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly 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.

Review by Mr. FABRICE G. Posted on June 7, 2016

It was pretty harsh and almost entirely acidic. I had a hard time finishing my glass and didn't pour myself another...
