MERCUREY 1er Cru Les Veleys Domaine Raquillet 2023
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.
MERCUREY Blanc 1er Cru Les Veleys Domaine Raquillet 2023
35% new wood. The oak influence is more noticeable though it still easily allows the slightly exotic aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, passion fruit and citrus confit to be appreciated. There is very good size, weight and mid-palate density to the markedly rich and sappy medium-bodied flavors that aren’t nearly as mineral-driven though they are more complex on the bitter lemon-inflected finale where a touch of warm slowly emerges. This could easily be enjoyed immediately though a few years of keeping should help to better integrate the wood treatment.
