2023 Raquillet - Mercurey Vieilles Vignes
From the heart of Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise, the 2023 Raquillet - Mercurey Vieilles Vignes is a testament to the power of old vines and careful winemaking. Crafted from Pinot Noir vines with an average age of 60 years, this wine offers a rich and expressive bouquet of fresh red fruits like crisp cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is a suave and generous wine with a velvety texture and a juicy core. Designed for immediate enjoyment, this vintage from Jeanne and François Raquillet beautifully captures the elegance and vibrancy of a ripe Pinot Noir from Mercurey's unique clay-limestone soils. It's a fantastic value for a high-quality Burgundy that can be enjoyed in its youth or aged gracefully.
