"Overlooking the village of Saint-Aubin, this 5.24-hectare south-facing vineyard takes its name from an old quarry where thin slabs of limestone were once extracted. Agnès Paquet produced a wine from this vineyard that was noted last year and has been widely acclaimed this year. It is praised for its pale, crystal-clear gold color; the mineral richness of its nose, which also reveals notes of citrus, white flowers, and toasted hazelnut; and its elegant, taut palate with exceptional length. A remarkable expression of the terroir with well-integrated oak.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2016 guide) 15,5/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
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 according to organic principles. The whites are crisp and refined, and the reds—partially vinified from whole clusters—are precise and full-bodied. Of particular note is the production of a house sparkling wine, made using the traditional method and produced exclusively from Aligoté.

About the estate:
Agnès Paquet founded her estate 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, 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 the 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 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.
