Merchant's description
François Raquillet's 2021 Premier Cru Les Vasées is a great example of why this domaine is getting so much attention. The wine is full of bright red cherry and raspberry fruit, with a touch of spice and a hint of earthiness underneath. The palate is supple and generous but still carries that classic Mercurey structure, giving it both charm and depth.
