A real standout from the Mâconnais region, Pacaud Vignerons is a name to remember. Brothers Julien and Sébastien Pacaud farm 12 hectares in Pouilly-Fuissé, Pouilly-Loché, and Saint-Véran, and their vineyards have been certified organic since the 2022 vintage.

Their white wines are beautifully precise, made with very little sulphur and no new oak, allowing the pure, natural character of the wine to shine through — an absolute treat for anyone who loves fresh, vibrant whites.
