Domaine François Raquillet, Mercurey 1er Cru Les Naugues,
This south facing vineyard is full of lovely old vines that often produce really very small grapes. This of course adds power and structure. A profound mineral scrape is there underpinning the firm serious fruit which adds a sense of grandeur and purpose. That packed fruit core is great - with sweet juice popping through, but nicely measured and never losing focus. Certainly one for the cellar that will give great pleasure in the medium term.
