PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Francois Raquillet is now among the very best producers of the Cote Chalonnaise, located in southern Burgundy. It is a bit warmer there than in the well-known and more northerly crus in the Côtes de Beaune. You can taste that in the wines of this, according to many, the best domaine in the region. In addition to a beautiful purity, the taste is seductive and round.
Francois Raquillet is an 11th generation vigneron. He and his wife Emmanuelle took over the family estate in 1990. Since the 2018 grape harvest, Jeanne, their daughter, now works with them. They farm 14 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, mostly in Mercurey.
Mercurey is a Côte Chalonnaise village appellation. It is one of the most important wine appellations in Burgundy with 670 hectares of vines.
