Domaine Agnès Paquet (Auxey-Duresses)

Dom Agnès Paquet, Les Caillaux 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté 16

Decent breadth of fruit – well done! A perfectly nice wine for the short term. (JR)

Drink 2023 – 2027
Imported into the UK by Flint Wines
Dom Agnès Paquet 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 16

Light citrus and herbal nose. Dry and really salty. Lightish, super-fresh and surprisingly long. (JH)

Drink 2023 – 2026
£218 per case of 12 ib Haynes Hanson & Clark
Dom Agnès Paquet 2021 Auxey-Duresses 16.5

Admirable fruit and zest – good composition and very refreshing without being mean. (JR)

Drink 2023 – 2029
£141 per case of 6 ib Stannary Wine
Dom Agnès Paquet, Les Hoz 2021 Auxey-Duresses 16.5

A little more intense than the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, but similarly salty. Mouth-watering tension and a very nice slight grip to the texture. Intense salty-citrus finish that is impressive in this vintage. (JH)

Drink 2024 – 2028
£145 per case of 6 ib Haynes Hanson & Clark
Dom Agnès Paquet 2021 Auxey-Duresses 16

Very pale garnet. Light and fragrant – true to appellation but some may find this precise wine a little too light. Pretty. A red wine to drink with fish? (JR)

Drink 2025 – 2033
£141 per case of 6 ib Stannary Wine
Dom Agnès Paquet 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 15.5

Light cherry red. Smells fragrant and juicy with wild strawberries and a touch floral. Tight, bright and refreshing. Again, not for those who prefer ripe roundness but it’s scented and mouth-watering with refined tannins. (JH)

Drink 2024 – 2027
£218 per case of 12 ib Haynes Hanson & Clark
Dom Agnès Paquet, Les Hoz 2021 Auxey-Duresses 16

Lightish cherry red. So fragrant. Delicate and pretty in its red fruits. More intense than the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and with greater persistence. Tannins are firm but balanced with the fruit. (JH)

Drink 2025 – 2029
£265 per case of 12 ib Haynes Hanson & Clark

Domaine Joseph Pascal (Puligny-Montrachet)

The Pascal estate (formerly Dom Jean Pascal et Fils) has changed its name this year to that of the latest...
