Michel Paquet Chardonnay 2025

Michel Paquet Chardonnay 2025 is a fresh, polished white wine that delivers impressive drinking pleasure without relying on a prestigious appellation. Made from Chardonnay grown on limestone- and clay-rich vineyards at the foothills of the Pyrenees, it combines ripe fruit, lively acidity and a clean mineral character in an effortlessly versatile style. The wine reflects Michel Paquet’s long-standing focus on expressive, well-crafted Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Bright pale gold in the glass, this Chardonnay opens with inviting aromas of lemon, green apple and ripe pear, followed by delicate notes of white flowers, almonds and a subtle touch of honey. The palate is elegant, juicy and well balanced, with ripe fruit supported by refreshing acidity and a precise, mineral finish. Its unoaked style keeps the fruit bright and pure, making the wine particularly approachable in its youth. Best enjoyed fresh, it offers excellent drinking over the next few years while its crisp, balanced character remains at the forefront.

Production
The grapes come from limestone- and clay-rich vineyards near the foothills of the Pyrenees, where cool nights and a long ripening period help preserve freshness while allowing the fruit to develop full flavour. After gentle pressing, the wine is fermented at low temperatures in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. It then spends six months on its fine lees, adding texture and subtle complexity without masking the Chardonnay’s natural fruit or mineral expression. No oak ageing is used.

Food & Serving
A highly versatile choice for the table, Michel Paquet Chardonnay pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, sushi, light pasta dishes and fresh salads. It is also enjoyable on its own as a refreshing aperitif or a chilled glass on the terrace. Serve at 8–10°C; decanting is not necessary, although a brief period in the glass will allow its floral and fruit aromas to open further.
