INFO: François, the 11th generation of grape growers in Mercurey, has 14 hectares of superbly sited, mostly old, vines. He believes in low yields, mature (rather than super-ripe) fruit and a severe selection at the table de tri. The depth, richness and concentration which characterise his wines are a result of this, rather than any over extraction. The grapes come from 3 parcels of 60-year-old vines and sees 10 months in 25% new oak The resulting wines are delicious, juicy and seductive.
