2020 Auxey-Duresses Blanc Les Hoz, Domaine Agnès Paquet

The soils where these vines grow are rich in limestone, giving intense fruit and liveliness to this wine. Three quarters of this cuvée comes from the 90-year-old vines which Agnès inherited from her grand-parents. The balance is from a young plantation, which recently came into production. This wine has aged in not-new barrels for 12+ months. Pale golden, with fresh, interesting fruitiness on the nose, this has lively, mid-weight body, good intensity, fine harmony, crisp finish (for drinking 2021-2025+).
