Score 88/100 · Drink 2014-2016, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Jun 2014

The 2012 Mercurey Vieilles Vignes has an attractive red cherry and fresh strawberry-scented bouquet that is both floral and pure. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, exerting a gentle but insistent grip toward the finish. Fine. Drink now-2016. Francois Raquillet is one of best producers in Mercurey and his wines come highly recommended. This was an outstanding showing of 2012s that clearly illustrates the potential of the commune. As far as I can tell, these wines are presently not imported to the United States, which is a great shame. Importers: no know US importer but available through Lea & Sandeman in the UK.
