Details
A classic Mâcon favouring citrus fruit character over oak. Still, some bready, vanilla tones shining through here, mineral, with prickly pear, lime cordial zip and freshness. Top-quality for the price, finishing with honey, wax and subtle stone fruit.

Paul Lacroix isn’t your average winemaker—he’s a dynamo of energy, passion, and serious vine know-how. Hailing from a lineage that treats terroir like family, Paul crafts wines that are as full of character as he is. Think of him as part scientist, part artist, and part enthusiastic storyteller, with every bottle he produces narrating a tale of soil, climate, and care. Paul’s vineyards are his playground, but also his canvas. Whether it’s a silky, sunlit white or a bold, complex red, he lets the grapes do the talking, stepping in only to nudge their natural brilliance along. “Minimal intervention” might sound like a buzzword, but for Paul, it’s a lifestyle. He’s the sort of winemaker who’d rather listen to what the land wants than impose his will on it. Paul's wines are part of the Mâcon based negociant Paquet-Montagnac, where his organic principles have earned him a reputation for precision, combining clever use of oak and stainless steel, lending to a fresh style of Burgundy wine.

Pairing guide
There’s something effortlessly luxurious about this beautiful Macon, which comes straight from the pristine vineyards of Paul Lacroix. It’s a stunning wine to pair with vegetarian dishes of roast cauliflower, parsnip and goat’s cheese salads, and will work very well indeed with tenderloin of pork and creamy chicken creations. Fish and seafood - especially barramundi, trout, smoked salmon, sushi and oysters - are always going to be a delight with this wine, too.

Wine region
Burgundy, France
Burgundy is located east between Paris and the Swiss border and is known for producing some of the finest and most sought-after wines (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) in the world. The region can be divided into the following sub-regions from north to south: Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais, with parts Beaujolais to the south now under consideration. Chablis is located north of the Côte d'Or and is known for its crisp, dry white wines made from Chardonnay, made without the influence of oak. Some of the best domaines in Chablis include William Fèvre and Christian Moreau. The Côte d'Or is the heart of the Burgundy wine region and is divided into two main areas: the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. The Côte de Nuits is known for its red wines, while the Côte de Beaune is known for its white wines. The best domaines in the Côte d'Or include Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Georges Roumier! Mâconnais and often overlooked Côte Chalonnaise produces red and white wines. Some of the best domaines in these regions include Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils and Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard.
