It all started in 1980, when Jocelyne and Michel Paquet founded Domaine des Valanges in the village of Davayé, Burgundy. What began as a small vineyard slowly grew into an internationally recognized estate, especially for its wines from Saint-Véran. In 2016, their sons—Camille, Mathieu, and Jean-Baptiste Paquet—took over, expanding into Pouilly-Fuissé and Mâcon while staying true to their roots.
In 2019, they merged all vineyard holdings from Domaine des Valanges and Famille Paquet into one unified estate: Famille Paquet. Today, they farm 50 vineyard plots with deep respect for nature, crafting wines that reflect the unique character of each terroir. Since 2021, their wines are certified organic, and they’ve now fully embraced biodynamic farming.
The 2024 vintage comes from five top vineyard sites—80% in northern Mâconnais, 20% in the south—in the villages of Cruzille, Lugny, Prissé, Loché, and La Roche-Vineuse. The vines range from 10 to 96 years old, growing in diverse soils and microclimates that shine through in the wine. Grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant aromatics of each plot. After fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for about 7 months, gaining structure and balance that make it unforgettable.
With limited availability and an unbeatable price, Mâcon-Villages “Nos Cinq Terroirs” 2024 by Famille Paquet won’t be around for long. Don’t miss your chance to grab a bottle!
