Auxey-Duresses Red "Les Hoz" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Agnès Paquet

The Domaine Agnès Paquet is located in Meloisey, in the heart of Burgundy. Created in 2000 by Agnès Paquet, this family estate covers 13 hectares, spanning prestigious appellations such as Pommard, Chassagne-Montrachet, and of course, Auxey-Duresses. With a respectful approach to the terroir and natural winemaking, the estate stands out for its modern, fresh, and vibrant wines.

The Auxey-Duresses Rouge "Les Hoz" 2022 comes from the locality "Les Hoz" in Auxey-Duresses, where the estate grows Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This red wine is the result of meticulous winemaking, respecting traditional methods. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in concrete tanks for 20 days, with manual punching down to preserve the authenticity of the wine. After an alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months, then rests for another 2 months in tanks before bottling.

This wine presents a bright ruby color. On the nose, it reveals generous aromas of red and black fruits, such as cherry and blackberry. On the palate, it is both delicious and balanced, with a lovely freshness and smooth tannins, marking a perfect balance between structure and finesse.

The Auxey-Duresses Rouge "Les Hoz" 2022 pairs ideally with grilled or roasted white meats, but also with refined vegetarian dishes like grilled vegetables or composed salads. This wine also accompanies red fruit-based desserts as well as game for lovers of traditional cuisine.
