The Wine
The Saint-Veran appellation lies at the heart of the most prestigious area of the southern Maconnais. This wine is crafted from ten distinct plots, all owned by the Paquets.
It boasts a glistening golden hue. The nose offers a subtle scent of fresh butter, complemented by hints of honey and white pepper. The palate is both generous and restrained, enchanting and persistent, with the terroir's minerality elevating it to a grand crescendo!

About the Wine Maker
The Famille Paquet estate, nestled in the village of Davayé within the southern reaches of the Mâconnais region, marks the southernmost boundary of Burgundy. Founded in 1980 by Jocelyne and Michel Paquet under the original name Domaine des Valanges, the estate is now under the stewardship of their sons Jean-Baptiste, Mathieu (pictured in pic 2), and Camille. Embracing the family's heritage, the new generation has shifted towards a more natural approach to winemaking, adhering to organic principles. Their progression to organic viticulture has been steady, culminating in full certification. As fervent proponents of the Mâconnais terroirs, the brothers are united in their mission to produce outstanding Burgundy wines that remain accessible to all.
