In Mercurey, Domaine François Raquillet stands as one of the benchmark estates of the Côte Chalonnaise. Established in the village for generations, the Raquillet family has cultivated its vineyards with unwavering dedication, now led by François Raquillet, who has played a key role in elevating the domaine to one of the appellation’s most reliable names.

The vineyard covers around 11 hectares, mainly located in Mercurey, with a strong presence across several Premier Cru sites. This allows the estate to explore different expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the region’s clay-limestone soils.

Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, the approach is defined by precision: manual harvesting, strict sorting and carefully controlled vinifications, with oak ageing seamlessly integrated. The domaine stands out for the consistency and clarity of its wines, combining structure, finesse and a true sense of terroir expression.
