2018 MERCUREY Vieilles Vignes Domaine François Raquillet
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France Red
Pinot Noir.
The vines are now 65 years old. Good pretty and enticing nose. Pinot with a sense of weight and plush edge. Palate starts fresh and clean. Good mineral edge to the core, then a brightness - a red edge to the fruit. Silky touch. Gets better and better on the palate. Really rather delicious....(read more)

2017 MERCUREY 1er Cru Champs Martin Domaine Paul et Marie Jacqueson
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France 13.5% Red
Pinot Noir.

Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France 13% Red
Pinot Noir.
The deep colour of 2012. Rich velvety body and ripe dark red fruit, all in balance and purity. This has a linen texture, firm but soft at the same time, and a well-developed dark spicy fruit with just a hint of classy oak. Drinking brilliantly now.

2011 MERCUREY Cuvée Carline 1er Cru Champs Martin Domaine Bruno Lorenzon
Côte Chalonnaise Burgundy France 12.3% Red
Pinot Noir.
Significantly plusher than the 'normal' cuvee. A richer nose with a touch of black pepper. A little more tannin, but more volume too so it's a rounder, even though marginally more structured wine. 80% whole bunches, 12 to 13 months in wood than second winter in tank. Vosne-textured, supple...(read more)
