Producer Information

Domaine Famille Paquet is located at the foot of the cliffs of Solutr and of Vergisson, in the commune of Davay in the Macon region in southern Burgundy. The domaine was created in 1980 by Jocelyn and Muchel Paquet and at that time called Domaine des Valanges. In 2015, their children, Camille, Mathieu and Jean-Baptiste, took over their parents estate. Today Camille manages both the viticulture and winemaking while Mathieu and Jean- Baptiste are responsible for wine sales. They perpetuate the know-how of their parents with the same passion, sharing the same vision: offering great white Burgundy reflecting the terroir at affordable prices. Their vineyards enjoy optimal sun exposure of south / south-east slopes on clay limestone terroirs. This terroir is wonderful for Chardonnay, producing very expressive, mineral, floral wines with a great fruit intensity. Today, the family estate of almost 27 hectares of organically farmed grapes produces more than 218,000 bottles per year, in the Pouilly-Fuiss, Saint-Vran and Mcon-Villages appellations.
