Famille Paquet, Bourgogne Chardonnay, 2025

Famille Paquet is the affordable white Burgundy secret we keep telling everyone about: a family operation in the Maconnais, founded in 1980 and now run by the three Paquet sons, who farm biodynamically and bottle wines with real salinity and drive. This is their entry-level Bourgogne Chardonnay, the everyday workhorse of the range, and it punches well above its price. As a young 2025, it is all about freshness, citrus and that mineral cut, ready to drink the moment you pull the cork. No fuss, no waiting; just clean, honest white Burgundy.
