The whites: 2014 is an excellent year for white. The grapes, at optimal ripeness thanks to September sunshine, give perfect balance. Their chiselled, precise character points to fine ageing potential.
The reds: intense colour, fruity nose, concentration on the palate and supple, agreeable tannins, these reds show fine fresh-fruit character. All finesse, they hint at everything a great red can offer.
The critics
What was said of 2014
Guide Bettane & Desseauve
« A lover of vine and grape, François Raquillet is never afraid to question himself. His passion for the craft has driven him to take the estate to its very best across a whole career. »
Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
« Lovers of good Burgundy at sensible prices will find every reason to stop here. For many vintages now, François Raquillet has been making wines that stand as genuinely safe bets within the Mercurey appellation. In village and in Premier Cru, the whole range is recommendable »
La Revue du Vin de France
« Fruity, accomplished, with manifest concentration. »
