Rateau, Jean-Claude Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc
| Vintage: | 2023 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Jean-Claude Rateau makes lovely Biodynamic wines in the Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune in his east-facing vineyard of clay/limestone and marne soils. Quite racy and bright even in the ripe 2023 vintage, the wine shows lovely aromas of lemon, almond, stone, spiced pear and apple. The palate is slightly more voluptuous than usual, but perfectly balanced with pear, citrus and stone flavors and terrific length. The acidity cuts through and there's structure to age, although it is wonderful now. The antithesis of fat, oaky Chardonnays, this food friendly wine will accompany everything from oysters and grilled seafood to roast chicken and mild cheeses. Delicious now or cellar for 5 to 8 years. This is a real Chardonnay of terroir and a great value! |
