Our history

The family adventure began in 1980, thanks to Michel Paquet. This family adventure continue to evolve in the quest for perfection.

Where it all began and where the future is taking shape.

1980

Michel Paquet was a trailblazer. A pioneer in love with his vines and his wines. It all began in 1980 in Davayé, a small village in southern Burgundy, at a place called «Les Valanges». He devoted 12 hectares of Chardonnay to his daily work for over 35 years.

2024

A generation later, Michel passed on his know-how to his sons. Today, Michel Paquet wines are still made at the historic estate. It’s Camille who carries on this tradition, vinifying all her father’s wines, marking a link between past and future. This is where it all began, but it’s also where Michel Paquet wines take shape, carrying with them the essence of this unique heritage.

The Mâcon region

Located in South Burgundy , the Mâcon terroir stretches over 35km from North to South.

The Mâcon area landscape is made up of rolling green hills offering a variety of exposures to the region's flagship grape variety, Chardonnay. Chardonnay reigns supreme, accounting for 80% of the region's plantings. White wines made from this grape are distinguished by their pale gold color and captivating aromas.
