- ABOUT THE WINE: The Les Hoz vineyard in Auxey-Duresses is south-facing with deep white limestone soils. Half planted in the 1950s and the other half in 2000. The wine is fresh and pure with a fine texture carried along by red and black fruits with spice on the finish. Slick, textural and fresh with a gentle tannin structure
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: 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.
