Vintage Character In the high-altitude appellation of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, the 2023 Agnès Paquet Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge showcases the superb energy of this vintage. The 2023 growing season in Burgundy was marked by warm summer days followed by cooler nights, yielding a generous harvest of beautifully ripe, fresh fruit that offers excellent value and appeal. The estate's Pinot Noir vines thrive in the rocky limestone and clay soils of Meloisey, a historic terroir where elevated, windy slopes naturally preserve acidity and impart a distinct, chalky minerality.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This expressive Pinot Noir opens with fragrant aromas of wild strawberry, bright red cherry, and delicate hints of peony and rose petal. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied texture with silky tannins, vibrant red fruit flavors, and a touch of light toast and forest floor, culminating in a clean, refreshing finish. It pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as pan-seared duck breast with a cherry reduction or herb-crusted pork chops.
Winery Background Agnès Paquet was established in 2001 when Agnès convinced her parents to preserve their historic family vines in Meloisey instead of selling them. Now managing over 13 hectares, she achieved organic certification for the estate in 2021, emphasizing biodiversity and sustainable vineyard management. In the cellar, Agnès favors native yeasts and a gentle extraction process, aging the wine in French oak barrels to produce a pure, terroir-driven expression that benchmarks the high-altitude Burgundy style.
