Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Dark-red fruit and a touch savoury. Firm, chewy, packed with fruit. Honest, complete, juicy. Drinking range: 2025 - 2028 Rating: 15.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2024)

*Case price discount: Mix any 12 bottles of wine (or 9 litre equivalent) or 6 bottles of Champagne, Spirits, Sweet Wine or Fortified (4.5 litres) to get the discounted 'case price' for each bottle.
Fine deep mid red, good fruit in quite a firm style on the nose. The fruit comes across exuberantly on the palate, finishing on ripe strawberries, attractive style. Good length and structure, this will work. Drinking range: 2024 - 2026 Rating: **** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Jan 2024)
Domaine François Raquillet
François took over the running of this estate from his father, Jean, in 1990, with his wife Emmanuelle. Records show that the same family have made wine in Mercurey since the 1600s, and Francois is the eleventh generation.
With eleven hectares under vine, François has substantially reduced yields, introduced higher quality oak barrels (up to 50% new wood for the Premiers Crus) and significantly increased the quality of wines made at this domaine. François explains he tries to avoid over-extraction at all costs - his one aim is to deliver the beautifully pure fruit profile he gets out of the old vines - this he does with great success. It is a wonderfully transparent style - combined with good mid-palate weight.

Lightish crimson. Fragrant, peppery, stony, dark-red fruit. This is lovely, a serious Bourgogne, firm but supple tannins, real depth. GV

2021 BOURGOGNE ROUGE Domaine Christian Clerget
Côte d'Or Burgundy France 13.5% Red
Pinot Noir.
Pretty good colour for the vintage, firm precise dark fruit nose and the definition is there on the palate too, a crunchy, clear-cut style of juicy slightly tannic fruit, with cherry juice flavours and a lifting acidity.
