François Raquillet works from an eleven-generation estate in Mercurey, which he took over in 1990 with his wife, Emmanuelle. The domaine farms about fourteen hectares across Mercurey, Mercurey Premier Cru, and Rully Premier Cru, using sustainable practices and hand-harvesting with careful sorting. Raquillet is known for lowering yields early in his tenure and adopting higher-quality barrels to elevate purity and structure. Planting density reaches about 10,000 vines per hectare, and roughly three and a half hectares sit in Premier Cru. Since 2018, his daughter Jeanne has joined the domaine, continuing its long family lineage.
