Marange Rouge 2023 Dom. Claude Nouveau

Deep ruby, jammy red fruits on nose. Medium+ body, good weight. Quite low acidity, though ripe and fleshy. Enjoyable, to drink young. Stephane Ponsard has wine in his blood. His father also has an estate in Santenay, but he and his wife now look after his father-in-law’s estate, Claude Nouveau. With a large vineyard holding in Santenay 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau, old vine plots in Maranges 1er Cru, and plenty of villages vines from both, Stephane has crafted hefty, rich, hedonistic wines in 2023.
