Domaine François Raquillet Mercurey Vieilles Vignes Blanc 2023

Domaine François Raquillet Mercurey Vieilles Vignes Blanc 2023 is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay that highlights the character of old vines in one of Mercurey’s most respected sites. With its balance of freshness, texture, and mineral precision, it offers a polished expression of white Mercurey with both elegance and depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a bright pale-golden hue. The nose opens with crisp citrus, green apple, and delicate floral notes, rounded out by subtle hints of nuts that add complexity. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a supple texture, lively acidity, and a distinct mineral thread that brings focus and length. The finish is long, graceful, and lightly savory, leaving behind a fresh, clean impression. While already appealing in its youth, the wine should develop additional nuance over the next few years, gaining more richness and complexity with short-term cellaring.

Production
Made from Chardonnay sourced from old vines in Mercurey, the wine benefits from naturally low yields, which help concentrate flavor and structure. The terroir of Burgundy, with its classic limestone- and clay-based soils, contributes freshness, minerality, and finesse. Harvesting and vinification are carried out with the aim of preserving purity of fruit and the vineyard’s natural expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, especially fish and shellfish served in cream-based sauces, as well as roast chicken, pork, or lightly creamy poultry dishes. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief airing can help open the aromas if enjoyed young.
