This wine shows typicity that showcases the quality of the Mâconnais region.

About the winery - In 1955, Camille Paquet’s grandparents, Jean and Germaine Paquet, uprooted themselves from their beloved Bresse, crossing the Saône River to pursue prosperity in the Mâconnais. They established their winemaking venture in the charming village of Fuisse, nestled within the celebrated Pouilly-Fuissé wine region

Today, Domaine Camille Paquet is a modern jewel in the Mâconnais, proudly building upon a rich winemaking legacy. The estate has rapidly gained recognition for its exceptional Chardonnays, cultivated in meticulously tended vineyards. Among these is the prestigious “Clos des Carras,” a monopole in Solutré and Pouilly-Fuissé, renowned as one of the region’s most esteemed single vineyards.

The 2020 vintage of this remarkable Chardonnay encapsulates the distinctive character and superior quality of this prized terroir, offering exceptional value.

In the glass, the 2020 Domaine Camille Paquet Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly Clos des Carras presents a pale golden color with a bouquet that features notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of flint.

The wine finishes with a clean, mineral-driven aftertaste, making it a versatile pairing for seafood, poultry, and light pasta dishes.
