MERCUREY 1er Cru Les Vasées Domaine Raquillet 2023
30% new wood. This is aromatically relatively similar to the Clos du Paradis but with a broader range of spice nuances and in particular anise. The succulent, round and equally suave medium weight flavors possess both fine volume and a highly seductive mouthfeel before culminating in a bitter pit fruit and youthfully austere finale. This could use better depth so in contrast to several of the preceding wines, this does need to be cellared for at least a few years.

30% new oak and aged for 12 months under wood with another 6 months in stainless. A slightly fresher and brighter nose speaks of an appealingly layered blend of both red and dark pinot fruit, earth, spice and moderate but not invasive wood. There is excellent delineation to the even finer middle weight flavors that possess solid depth on the balanced, youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This is lovely and I very much like the understated style.
