Mercurey 1er Cru Les Vasées François Raquillet 2020
The wine
Les Vasées is a Mercurey Premier Cru that has benefited from a mid-slope due southerly exposure in a marly limestone soil. The fifty-year-old vines have been harvested by hand, and the grapes have been destemmed before several days of cold maceration. They are fermented naturally, with only native yeasts used. The wine is then matured in casks for one year. Drink within six years to enjoy its rounded, juicy, silky, fruity palate.
