Rateau, Jean-Claude Beaune "Clos des Mariages" Rouge
| Vintage: | 2023 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Located toward the bottom of the slope beneath Beaune Grèves and adjacent to Les Cents Vignes, Clos des Mariages is a mix of young and very old vines planted in clay and brown limestone soils. "This fertile soil gives wines that are open and joyous, with delicate spice notes, giving great pleasure in their youth and capable of long-term aging." -Jean-Claude Rateau The 2023 is a bit shy upon opening but with an hour or two of air really comes to life, showing bright berry fruit, licorice and hints of spice. There's great tension and structure showing the wine's aging potential, while it remains energetic and enticing in its youth. The finish is long with mouth-watering acidity and supple tannins. Best to hold for 5-10 years, or decant if drinking now. |
