Score 90/100 · Drink 2014-2019, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Apr 2014

The 2010 Mercurey Vieilles Vignes is tightly wound on the nose and demands coaxing, offering woodland and wild red berry aromas but staying tight-lipped. The palate is medium-bodied with pretty, mineral-rich tart red cherry fruit with plenty of animation and vigor toward the persistency finish. This is very fine – delicious! Drink now-2019. Francois Raquillet is one of my favorite producers in the Cote Chalonnaise, and I will be publishing more notes in the next issue. Importer: Lea & Sandeman (UK)

Violets, black fruit, soft tannin, a little sourness that works well. Lovely black olive complexity. Grows in the mouth. Quite compelling, and delivers good Pinosity for the price. (RH)

Lively, tight citrus aroma. Creamy on the palate. Fresh, linear, a touch of mineral but really concentrated and mouthwatering finish. (JH)
