Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc Domaine Agnes Paquet 2021

Bright and taut on the palate, this Chardonnay shows crisp flavours of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, balanced by chalky minerality and a fine thread of acidity. Aromas of citrus blossom, pear, and crushed stone rise from the glass, while its pale straw colour with green reflections highlights its youthful freshness. The finish is clean, elegant, and lightly saline, leaving a precise, refreshing impression.

Agnès Paquet is a dynamic grower in Burgundy, farming organically and working with low intervention to craft wines that express purity and place. Her Hautes-Côtes de Beaune vineyards sit on limestone-rich soils at higher altitude, giving extra freshness and tension to the wines. The 2021 vintage, cooler and more restrained, produced whites of finesse and clarity — this cuvée offering a lively, terroir-driven take on Chardonnay from Burgundy’s hillsides.
