Driving into the perched hillside village of Meloisey in the Hautes Côtes behind Pommard, you can immediately understand why this beautiful, elevated spot can give wines that have such clarity and freshness. It is here that Agnès Paquet, a young proprietor and winemaker, created her Domaine in 2000. She started with a vineyard in Auxey-Duresses inherited from her grandparents, where both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are planted. In addition, she makes some delicious, great-value regional wines, and excellent examples from Saint-Aubin, Santenay and Pommard.
