"Lifted floral notes with dark berries, elegant mid-weight palate."
Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager
Domaine Raquillet is a 12th-generation Mercurey family estate, run today by Emmanuel and Jeanne. The 2024 vintage delivered bright tension in the whites and ripe, balanced reds, with all wines showing freshness and focus despite the variable conditions. Yields were slightly down in 2025, but 2024 offered good quantity and quality across the range, with whites showing precise acidity and reds ripe aromatics with structure and elegance. All Premier Cru reds received 25% new oak, giving the wines added depth without masking their purity.
“The Côte Chalonnaise experienced a very different growing season than the rest of Burgundy, and it is very much a year to pay attention to these wines. Almost across the board
they are highly delicious.”
Christy Canterbury MW, Tim Atkin
Domaine Raquillet is one of Tim Atkin's Top 10 Côte Chalonnaise Producers.
What the critics say:
"This comes from 1.2 ha that face directly south and saw 100% new oak. Toasty on the nose from the oak barrels, the palate delivers a thoroughly Burgundian sensation where the oak feels better absorbed. Damp bark and autumn leaves interchange with black cherries and plums. The tannins are present but well behaved with enough oomph to help this age well for five to six years at least. These vines are half 40 years old and half 60 years old."
