The 2022 Domaine Raquillet Mercurey Vieilles Vignes Les Chazeaux Rouge is an elegant and expressive Burgundy crafted from old-vine Pinot Noir in the renowned Mercurey appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise. Produced from sustainably farmed vineyards, it showcases vibrant fruit, refined structure and the distinctive character of this highly regarded site. The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and blackberry, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, gentle spice and finely integrated French oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully supple texture, delivering flavours of red cherry, cranberry and blackcurrant layered with hints of cedar, earthy spice and subtle mineral complexity. The finish is long, fresh and beautifully balanced, highlighting the elegance and purity of Mercurey Pinot Noir.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Mercurey for lovers of classic Burgundy seeking elegance, freshness and authentic Côte Chalonnaise character. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 8–12 years. Ideal with roast duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, grilled quail or mature Comté cheese.
