The 2023 Domaine Raquillet Mercurey Les Veleys Blanc is an elegant and expressive white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grown in the highly regarded Les Veleys vineyard in Mercurey. Produced with meticulous attention to terroir, it showcases exceptional purity, freshness and refined mineral character. The nose is bright and aromatic, revealing aromas of white peach, pear and lemon zest, complemented by notes of citrus blossom, toasted hazelnut and subtle French oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully silky, textured mouthfeel, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, grapefruit and crisp apple layered with hints of roasted almond, delicate oak spice and fine mineral complexity. The finish is long, fresh and beautifully balanced, combining elegance with impressive depth.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding white Burgundy for lovers of refined Chardonnay seeking freshness, finesse and authentic Côte Chalonnaise character. Enjoy now or cellar confidently over the next 6–10 years. Ideal with grilled prawns, scallops, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or mature Comté cheese.
