With pale gold colouring, this wine makes an impression before the corkscrew is popped – and this appealing hue is matched by an impressive and unmistakable nose, encompassing notes of citrus and fruit with a floral flourish. Upon the palate, Mâcon-Villages Nos 5 Terroirs is effortlessly balanced – sharp and refreshing, with a pleasing power that cedes to a lingering, saline finish. A classic Chardonnay that will delight any enthusiast of dry, white wine.

WHAT IT GOES WITH
While many enjoy this wine as a luxurious pre-meal aperitive, it can also make a fine companion to a dining experience – especially an al fresco seafood feast or a lighter game or poultry dish.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD
Housed in the Mâconnais region, the Famille Paquet story began in 1980 when Jocelyne and Michel Paquet founded Domaine des Valanges. Today, the couple’s three sons – Jean-Baptiste, Mathieu and Camille – continue the family tradition of plucking Chardonnay grapes from five locations, hence the name Nos Cinq Terroirs. The Paquets have emerged as leading lights in the territory’s wine production, valuing an emotional response from a consumer and refusing to be confined by rules and regulations while ageing wines – with 2022 wide considered an excellent year for the vineyard.
