Please note that this parcel is offered In Bond, with an estimated delivery in 2027.

"An imperial, dark purple hue. The nose lifts exuberantly from the glass with poached plum, cassis and redcurrant, threaded with violet, clove and star anise. Deep, resonant and a touch brooding in its youth, the palate reveals a concentrated core of dark fruit wrapped in firm, powdery tannins. A serious, structured and confidently age-worthy Mercurey from Domaine Raquillet."
Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru

Early tastings suggest a beautifully classical Burgundy vintage - cooler, fragrant, elegant and shaped by low yields. And few express it better than Domaine Raquillet, whose wines once again punch well above their weight.

Critics consistently champion the domaine: Neal Martin calls the Vieilles Vignes “utterly delicious,” William Kelley praises its depth and precision, and Burghound regularly scores the wines at levels normally seen in top Premier Crus.

“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.
