Product features : Domaine Francois Raquillet Mercurey Rouge 1er Cru les Veleys 2022
Breeding
12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, of which 20–30% new oak
On the eye
Medium to deep ruby with violet reflections
On the nose
Velvety bouquet with powdery tannins and a penetrating finish. The nose reveals layers of complexity that unfold gradually, inviting further exploration.
In the mouth
Wild berry and blackcurrant aromas meld with forest floor and coniferous notes, complemented by spiced new oak. The palate is structured yet approachable, with fine-grained tannins and excellent length.
This wine demonstrates the poise characteristic of well-made Mercurey. It will reward those who pair it with beef bourguignon or a grilled entrecôte, where its structure and aromatic profile will shine. Equally, it may be enjoyed with roasted game or mature cheeses. A wine of genuine substance that merits cellaring for five to eight years.
