The Wine

The grapes are grown on predominantly clay soils with limestone in a vineyard on the border of the village of Volnay. Because of the vines location, Les Combes achieves a brilliant balance between the finesse and grace of Volnay and the power and structure of Pommard. On repeat here - can be enjoyed now - drunk over a few days - or cellared. YUM!

89-92 Pts Jasper Morris MW
 'No whole bunches. More ruby than crimson in colour. A high-class nose, a slightly savoury style of Pommard but still with ripe raspberries alongside, and an additional burst of fruit right at the finish. Riper in style than the other reds chez Agnès, but still not excessive. Still balanced and enjoyably persistent, with fine tannins.’

About the Wine Maker

Agnes Paquet is recognized locally as a leading innovator of the current generation. Her estate boasts vineyards in Cotes de Beaune and Hautes-Cotes de Beaune. Agnes is keenly aware of terroir nuances and maintains a traditional approach in her vineyards. Since 2004, chemical herbicides have been eliminated.

While not certified organic or biodynamic, she follows these practices closely. From 2022 the wines have been ‘Ecocert’ certified - the wines now bear the ‘AB’ label. Vineyard labor is essential, especially when the vines are most active from May to July, during which the workforce expands to 13. The harvest is done by hand, with sorting done both in the field and at the winery. Fermentations are initiated solely by natural yeasts, with minimal SO2 usage.

I can attest to the quality and management of the vineyards as some of her plots in the Hautes-Cotes around Meloisey are adjacent to or nearby to those of Domaine Dandelion (which I work at during vintage). The wines are uber supple and pure - they convey their terrior faithfully. Purchasers will not be disappointed with the quality here - the wines are highly drinkable - accessable now and the reds will development further complexity in the cellar! TC
