The wine: The vintage La Brigadière is a real favorite !

The estate: Heir from of an 11-generation line of winegrowers, François Raquillet began working the vines with his father in 1984 and took over the estate in 1990 with his wife Emmanuelle. From then on, he made significant changes to the working philosophy by decreasing yields and introducing the use of premium quality barrels. The estate today operates 14 hectares of vines (75% pinot noir, 25% chardonnay) within the AOC Mercurey in Côte Chalonnaise and offers a diverse range of high-level white and red wines. Since 2018, their daughter Jeanne has joined them on the estate and the family's continuity of the farm is therefore assured. Acclaimed by amateurs and the specialist press alike, this is a brilliant Burgundian estate that you absolutely must know!
