From Domaine Famille Paquet in Burgundy’s Mâcon-Villages appellation, the Nos Cinq Terroirs 2024 is a refined 100% Chardonnay sourced from five distinct plots across Mâcon-Prissé, Mâcon-Davayé, Mâcon-Fuissé, Mâcon-Lugny, and Mâcon-Loché, stretching north to south on south- and southeast-facing exposures with varied clay-limestone soils that capture the region's expressive minerality and fruit-forward character. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2024 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—are sorted again at the winery and fermented with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to let the grape and terroir speak, followed by brief lees aging for subtle texture. Founded in 1980 by Jocelyne and Michel Paquet and now led by sons Jean-Baptiste, Mathieu, and Camille under organic and biodynamic principles, this production yields a pretty pale gold wine with green highlights and remarkable vibrancy.
Tasting Notes A refreshing yet textural Mâcon-Villages with zesty citrus and mineral notes, a hint of creaminess, and lively orchard fruit like peach, blending freshness with fleshiness and a saline finish from five diverse terroirs. The nose offers rich citrus, yellow fruits like peach, and white flowers with delicate floral fragrances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with vibrant acidity, tender fleshiness, and flavors of concentrated stone fruit, citrus, and subtle minerality, leading to a long, saline finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2024 Nos Cinq Terroirs earned 90 points from James Suckling for its vibrant aromatics and balanced freshness.
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C without decanting to maintain vibrancy. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with shellfish, grilled fish, or goat cheese. Enjoy now through 2030, during which it will develop subtle honeyed nuances.
