Description
Domaine Famille Paquet, situated in Mâconnais, was first established in 1980 by Jocelyn and Michel Paquet under the name Domaine des Valanges. Currently the estate is run by their three sons, Jean-Baptiste, Camille and Mathieu. They have expanded the estate as well as their portfolio making a range of wines that express the estate's terroir. The Domaine follows organic and biodynamic practices when caring for the vineyards and manage each of their 50 plots individually. The year 2021 marks the first vintage with an organically farmed certification.
The grapes are gently pressed and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Once the wine completes fermentation, it is then aged for 6 months in stainless steel before being bottled.

Taste
A fresh and youthful expression of pinot noir with red and black fruit notes such as cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with refreshing acidity that is balanced by delicate and perfectly integrated tannins resulting in a rounded wine with a touch of minerality on the finish.
