2013 François Raquillet Mercurey Vieilles Vignes

2013 François Raquillet Mercurey Vieilles Vignes. This is a super delicious and “gluggable” wine. Pure cherry and strawberry balanced by bracing acidity. Maybe a little rustic on the texture and finish, but I think that is more of a feature than a bug. Ultimately a crazy value and one that is easy to justify buying a case of.

I am not a professional wine taster, nor do I have any professional training in the wine trade. I am a wine enthusiast who has spent countless hours tasting wines of many different styles. My palate is not aligned with a single wine critic, and I call all wines "as I taste them". My site is a source of tasting notes and wine recommendations as well as warnings without conflict of interest. You'll just have to figure out how your palate aligns with mine. My palate generally tends to veer towards Old-World wines that put a premium on terroir and lovely balance and finesse, rather than raw power...please keep that in mind as you read my notes.
