Ripe Orchard Fruits, White Peach, Crushed Limestone, and Organic Mâconnais Energy

The 2024 Famille Paquet Pouilly-Fuissé is a vibrant, organically farmed white Burgundy crafted by brothers Jean-Baptiste, Mathieu, and Camille Paquet. Sourced from hillside vineyards nestled beneath the Roche de Solutré and Vergisson, it reveals enticing aromas of ripe yellow pears, crisp citrus, white flowers, and crushed limestone. Medium-bodied and textural, it balances generous stone fruit against a core of lively natural acidity, finishing clean, savory, and mineral-driven.

Terroir & Domaine Craft

  • Limestone Slopes of Solutré and Fuissé: Sourced from organic estate parcel selections nestled on the slopes around the iconic Roche de Solutré and Vergisson. The vineyards sit at elevations between 250 and 350 meters on Jurassic limestone mixed with alkaline clay and scree. This classic Mâconnais geological profile delivers rich, generous orchard fruit combined with a firm, mouth-watering limestone tension.
  • The Paquet Brothers’ Modern Precision: Founded in 1980 by Jocelyne and Michel Paquet, the estate is now managed by the second generation—brothers Jean-Baptiste, Mathieu, and Camille. Certified organic (with biodynamic preparations), the winery applies minimal intervention, pressing whole clusters gently before wild yeast fermentation. Maturation takes place in neutral French oak barrels (around 15–20% new at most) and stainless steel vats on fine lees, highlighting transparent fruit energy rather than overt cellar signature.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay from certified organic estate parcels in Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy.
  • Aged on fine lees in seasoned French oak and stainless steel to preserve crystalline freshness.
  • A crisp, expressive 2024 vintage; prime drinking window 2025 through 2032+.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw-yellow with luminous green reflections, it opens with pure, fragrant aromas of crisp yellow orchard apples, white peaches, and citrus zest, accompanied by nuances of white blossoms, crushed chalk, and a faint kiss of hazelnut brioche. The palate is medium-bodied, supple, and focused, carrying generous stone fruit across a spine of vibrant natural acidity and fine mineral extract, finishing clean, mouth-watering, and persistent.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C in standard Burgundy or wide white wine stems.
  • Decanting: A brief 15-to-20 minute aeration in the glass allows its limestone minerality and stone fruit to blossom. Best enjoyed from 2025 through 2032+.
