From one of Raquillet’s top Premier Cru sites, Les Veleys showcases the potential of Chardonnay in Mercurey: expressive fruit framed by a refined structure and genuine sense of place. The 2021 vintage was cooler and a bit challenging across Burgundy, yielding wines with elegance, clarity and a purity of fruit.

At Domaine François Raquillet, meticulous farming and careful, terroir-driven winemaking result in whites that are as thoughtful and distinctive as their reds. The 2021 Les Veleys is a lovely example: energetic, balanced and engaging from start to finish. Enjoy it with seared scallops, lemon-thyme chicken or a creamy risotto with shaved aged cheese.

OUR GROWERS

Domaine François Raquillet

Domaine François Raquillet of Mercurey is led by François Raquillet himself. A pioneer in the region for his adaptation to changing climates. he has adapted the domaine’s 12 hectares of vineyards – 8 devoted to red and 4 to white grapes – to the warmer, drier weather by introducing reduced yields. This has enabled him to produce Chardonnays that are richer and more gourmand than others in the region. From lively village wines brimming with vitality to intricate Premier Crus, Domaine François Raquillet’s portfolio is regularly a favourite among consumers and critics alike.
