Bright, fresh and fragrant Pinot Noir here. It’s got great structure, finesse and drive. A bargain for Burgundy.
A wonderfully fragrant and inviting Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Agnes Paquet. A nose resplendent with wild florals, plush red berries and subtle spice. It’s beautifully svelte to taste, with nice textural grip and awesome fruit presence. A great drink!

Profile: Known as the Heartbreak grape oweing to its tumultuous nature in the vineyard. Pinot Noir is best suited to cooler regions, including most famousl Burgundy in France where it produces the most sought after and expensive wines in the world. Thin skinned and early ripening, Pinot is a very transparent variety, capable of showing subtle differences in terroir and pronounced regional character. Flavours found in young Pinot include raspberries, strawberries, cherries and violets; with time these evolve into a bouquet often reminiscent of game, liquorice and autumnal undergrowth.

Domaine Agnes Paquet
In 1999, Agnes Paquet decided to take over 3 hectares of family vineyards in Auxey-Duresses. She is extremely attentive to the subtleties of terroir and pursues a fairly classic approach in the vineyards. Since 2004, there have been no chemical herbicides, and currently treatments are copper and sulphur-based. She has not pursued organic or bio certification, but adheres to those principles.
