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
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
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.
In The Glass
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.
A Bottle To Understand It
Open Saint Véran En Crèches first. It is the named white wine in the listed Mâconnais range, with the 2023 vintage attached to the bottle. The cuvée name identifies one specific wine and one specific vintage within the producer’s range.
Final Word
Domaine Famille Paquet joins organic and biodynamic methodology with plot by plot vineyard work, expressed through the named white wine Saint Véran En Crèches.
