Details
This is a lovely, wild, lean and slightly green Pinot from Cécile. Notes of damp earth and truffle interlace with hints of wild strawberry. With ripping tartness and taut, lean, crunchy charm. This is elegant and fresh.

Domaine Cécile Paquet is a gem nestled in the heart of Burgundy, known for crafting elegant, terroir-driven wines that capture the essence of this iconic region. Located in the revered village of Fuissé within the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation, this boutique estate specialises in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the signature grapes of Burgundy’s southern reaches. Cécile Paquet, the passionate and skilled winemaker, emphasises a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation. She employs sustainable viticulture practices, ensuring the health of her vineyards while respecting the environment. Her small-scale production allows for meticulous attention to detail, resulting in wines that showcase the unique characteristics of each vineyard plot. The wines from Domaine Cécile Paquet are marked by their vibrant acidity, layered complexity, and minerality, hallmarks of the limestone-rich soils of Pouilly-Fuissé. From her crisp, citrus-tinged village wines to the more structured and nuanced premier cru bottlings, each bottle is a testament to her dedication and artistry.

Pairing guide
When it comes to food-friendly red wines, there’s nothing quite like a Pinot Noir. Effortlessly versatile and oh-so charming, this release from Paquet really impresses with its expressiveness and elegance - it’s the ideal pairing for dishes which shine a spotlight on juicy meats like lamb shank, duck breast and ribeye steak, especially if served with slow-cooked cabbage and potato sides. Strong cheeses, stuffed mushrooms, red capsicum stews and puy lentils would also make excellent pairing options to try.
