Pinot Noir
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 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: |
The wine is fresh and young with a burst of red berries, cherry and a slight hint of violet on the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied with refreshing and well integrated acidity, balanced with tannins that add structure to this wine. A pleasant wine over all that can be best enjoyed in youth and over the next few years. |
| Cellaring Potential: |
Drink now or cellar for 2 years. |
| Food Matching: |
Great as an aperitif but also well matched with beets, mushrooms, salmon and barbequed pork. |
