The Château des Bachelards vineyard was created by the Benedictine monks of Cluny around 1100. Today, it extends over 12 hectares, solely farmed organically and biodynamically, in keeping with this monastic heritage. The absence of chemicals in the soil for 16 years, combined with biodynamic practices, allow the terroirs to fully express themselves in the wines of Bachelards. The very old Gamay vines, only red grape variety in Château des Bachelards, blossom beautifully on our acidic granitic soils.

Pâquerette is a cuvée from a plot selection in the Fleurie cru. These young vines are completing their conversion to organic and biodynamic farming. They are vinified separately in a fruitier, airier style than our older vines. The wine is juicy, with hints of red fruit and a fresh, gourmet finish.

TASTING NOTE : A dark garnet color and a nose that exudes red berries. On the palate, the wine is dense, juicy and slightly spicy. Enjoy it now.

WINE & FOOD PARING : Pâquerette is the wine for gourmet pleasures, everyday cooking and conviviality. Its fine tannins will enhance a meat dish or accompany a fine salad. It's also the wine for grilled fish, roast chicken or filet mignon of pork à la cocotte with a few creamy mushrooms.
