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.

Spicy density best sums up this Burgundian Chardonnay; it's got an exotic edge to the charming creamy, nutty, toasty oak, while the pert nature of the acidity lifts the palate. Complex yet approachable. Rating: 90 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (May 2013)
Domaine François Raquillet
François took over the running of this estate from his father, Jean, in 1990, with his wife Emmanuelle. Records show that the same family have made wine in Mercurey since the 1600s, and Francois is the eleventh generation.
With eleven hectares under vine, François has substantially reduced yields, introduced higher quality oak barrels (up to 50% new wood for the Premiers Crus) and significantly increased the quality of wines made at this domaine. François explains he tries to avoid over-extraction at all costs - his one aim is to deliver the beautifully pure fruit profile he gets out of the old vines - this he does with great success. It is a wonderfully transparent style - combined with good mid-palate weight.
