Why it matters
The producer
The Paquet family employs organic and biodynamic methodology in its vineyards. Conversion to organic practices began in 2018, and organic certification was achieved in 2021.
Each plot is treated independently. The family aims to produce Mâconnais wines priced for broader access, pairing its farming approach with a stated focus on quality.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Mâconnais is the listed appellation, the geographic name attached to a regulated wine category. Saint Véran En Crèches is the named white wine. The two names sit together on the bottle, with Mâconnais placing the wine in its regional category and Saint Véran En Crèches naming the cuvée.
Wines to know
The range in view
Saint Véran En Crèches is the named white wine in the range. Its green fruit profile is balanced by lees derived texture, giving the wine a mouthfeel shaped by both fruit and ageing on lees.
The wine opens with citrus, lemon and grapefruit, with honeysuckle alongside the fruit. Mineral character carries citrus brightness and tropical undertones through the palate. The finish brings dried laurel leaf aromatics and a chalk tinged lift that keeps the wine crisp.
