Juicy red berries, black cherry and a touch of spice lead the way, with supple tannins, lively acidity and a fine mineral line carrying through to a long, balanced finish. Generous yet precise, Domaine François Raquillet's Mercurey Rouge is a joy at the table — try with braised short ribs, roast duck with spiced cherries, wild mushroom and lentil stew, or an aged Comté.
The 2022 vintage was warm and generous, delivering ripe, expressive fruit while retaining freshness and clarity, a style that suits Raquillet’s approach perfectly.
Who is the greatest, under-the-radar producer in Burgundy? There are a handful of growers in the Côte-d’Or who might deserve that title, but looking further south to Mercurey, one Domaine that is crafting incredible, thought-provoking wines is François Raquillet. With scores that rank alongside a top producer’s Côte-d’Or 1er Crus, these are wines that merit a place in any serious Burgundy lover’s cellar.
