Francois Raquillet – The best producer in Mercurey

Who says you have to spend a fortune to get a great bottle of red Burg??

When tasting Francois Raquillet’s wines, one word comes to mind above all others: Delicious.

It’s the result of a perfect trifecta: raw talent, relentless hard work, and deep-rooted old vines. Francois took over the 11-generation estate in 1990 and immediately transformed it, prioritizing low yields and meticulous vineyard management.

Every grape is hand-harvested and scrutinized at the sorting table. The result? Wines that rival the best of Burgundy at a price point that is frankly unheard of for this quality. A Bassins’ direct import we have cut out the middle man so you get an outstanding wine at quite an outstanding price!.This has been our “go to” recommendations of late for a great bottle of Pinot that doesn’t break the bank and we promise you won’t regret buying this beauty.
