Domaine Agnès Paquet Description
gnès Paquet is not your average Burgundian vigneronne. Although her family has owned vineyards near Beaune since the 1950s, she is the first generation to produce wine from their fruit. The story begins with her grandparents, who first purchased vines and immediately rented them out to local winemakers. Her parents followed suit, and in her early years, Agnès thought to eventually do the same. However, three years into business school, an internship at a California barrel cooperage coupled with her growing interest in wine caused her to question her life’s trajectory.
Without family members to learn from, Agnès found herself quite alone in the beginning. “There was sexism. It was a masculine world, and I think if my parents were winemakers, it would've been easier for me. I would’ve had an in,” she explains, recalling countless moments of being dismissed and ignored. However, it was Jean-Pierre Charlot of Domaine Joseph Voillot in Volnay who took a chance on young Agnès, whom she describes as her professeur d’oenologie.
