Domaine François Raquillet
François took over the running of this estate from his father, Jean, in 1984, and records show that the same family have made wine in Mercurey since the 1600s. With eleven hectares under vine, François has substantially reduced yields, introduced higher quality oak barrels and significantly increased the quality of wines made at this domaine.

2010 BOURGOGNE Pinot Noir Domaine François Raquillet
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France
Juicy and yet more than just that, a gliding, rounded weight too. Brilliant value drinker from this spring and over the next couple of years.

2010 MERCUREY Vieilles Vignes Domaine François Raquillet
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France
François' old vines cuvée is, as usual, fully ripe, an atttactive sweet edge on the wine with enough body and plenty of juicy, fleshy fruit.

2010 RULLY 1er Cru Grésigny Domaine François Raquillet
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France
Grésigny is tucked up under the 'Montagne de Montpalais', a strong soil full of stones and which, with its south-easterly exposition, gets fully ripe. Touches of ripe yellow fruit and even a hint of exotic spice with refreshing citrus and appealing density and length. This wine impressed many tasters at our 2010 Burgundy tasting in January 2012.

2010 MERCUREY 1er Cru Les Veleys Domaine François Raquillet
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France
After the Vasées this seems riper yet with a weighty, plummy mid-palate and more depth and seriousness. Drink 2014-2019.

2010 MERCUREY 1er Cru Les Naugues Domaine François Raquillet
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France
Pure, balanced and directed, but still quite closed. More minerality and glide than any of the other cuvées, and more long-term potential too. Drink 2014-2020.
