Rateau, Jean-Claude Cote de Beaune "La Grande Chatelaine"
| Vintage: | 2023 |
|---|---|
| Description: | About a kilometer or two northwest of the Beaune 1er Crus, La Grande Chatelaine is a cooler site with soils comprised of clay over limestone. Approximately 90% Chardonnay with Pinot Blanc, Pinot Beurot and Pinot Gris. Stone fruit and pear skin, white flowers and wet stone on the nose. Bright and fresh aromatically. The mid-weight palate is racy (especially given the vintage) and rainwater fresh with orchard fruit and lemon oil flavors, dancing astride sapid herbal notes with a clinging stoniness on the long, mouthwatering, expansive finish. This is lovely vibrant Chardonnay with a sense of place and worthy of a look, though I'd drink in the mid-term while the fruit is singing, say until 2030. |
