Intensity
Aligoté, a grape variety that has risen from the ashes in this beautiful region, is matured in wood, acquiring greater roundness and aromatic complexity.
More infoAgnès Paquet’s estate sits in the Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune region and stretches over eight hectares of carefully cultivated vines, cultivated following environmentally friendly methods that include ploughing the soil manually. This Burgundy white is crafted from Aligoté, a grape variety regarded as secondary in the region but which is gradually rising from its ashes. Under her care, the vines are encouraged to draw the nutrients they require to thrive from soils consisting of clay and limestone, which create a fine balance of density and liveliness. In the winery, the grape variety undergoes meticulous vinification, culminating in an ageing process involving 500-litre casks. This is the source of the wine’s aromatic complexity, slightly smooth texture and persistence. The fruit combines beautifully with notes of fresh almond, perfect for pairing with white meat or fish cooked in butter, for example.

About the Producer Agnès Paquet
Located in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune and the Côte de Beaune, the farm of Agnès Paquet extends over 8 hectares. The vineyard is ploughed by hand and vinification is done using the yeast of the grapes. The wines produced are tender, fruity, rich and complex. The village of Auxey-Duresses has remained in the shadow of its more prestigious neighbours for far too long since the famous Domaine d'Auvenay put the spotlight on this Côte de Beaune village. Agnès Paquet makes sublime wines and they are far more accessible!
