Agnès Paquet - Chassagne-Montrachet Les Battaudes 2014
91/100
Robert Parker
"The Chassagne-Montrachet 2014 Les Battaudes, made from clay soils and aged 30% in new barrels, has a fragrant nose of white flowers, white peach and a hint of Japanese yuzu - all well-defined and nicely integrated with the wood. The palate is vibrant on the attack, with crisp acidity, notes of orange peel and a hint of mulberry leaf. The acidity, well gauged and carrying a certain harmony and refinement on the finish, almost makes you think of a Premier Cru. Excellent." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Agnès Paquet vinified her first vintage at Meloisey in 2001 on a family plot in Auxey-Duresses. She has masterfully managed her estate, which now covers 12.5 hectares in Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Auxey-Duresses, Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin, where the vines are intelligently tended according to organic principles. The whites are straightforward and chiselled, while the reds, vinified partly from whole bunches, are precise and full-bodied. Of particular note is the production of a house effervescent using the ancestral method, made exclusively with aligoté grapes.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Agnès Paquet created her domaine in 2000 from a parcel acquired by her family in the 1950s. Based in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune region, she farms 9.5 ha of vines, most of which are in Melin, a hamlet of Auxey-Duresses. Organic conversion is underway.

Domaine noté (guide 2021) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
It was to avoid the sale of her family's Auxey-Duresses parcel that Agnès Paquet, a business school graduate, chose to become a winemaker. She produced her first vintage in 2001. Her style is always frank and fresh, which we're delighted about.
