Clos Marie 2022 - Domaine Ratte

Clos Marie- Domaine Ratte 

The Clos Maire cuvée of Domaine Ratte is obtained from the vinification of a winning combination such as Trousseau and Pinot Noir. The grapes are destemmed directly in the vineyard, manually and the grapes arrive intact in the cellar: a semi-carbonic maceration gives this wine a lot of freshness and an exceptional fruitiness.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 16/18° in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but will express its best in a few years. It is advisable to keep it in a horizontal position in a cool, damp and dark cellar.

Pairing

A pleasant wine always, better during the meal if accompanied with roasted meat and spicy cheese.

Cellar: Domaine Ratte

Domaine Ratte is located in Arbois in the heart of the Jura. Since 1989 Michel-Henri and Françoise Ratte have run the estate with the help, in recent years, of their son Quentin. Right from the start they followed an approach, in the vineyard and in the cellar, as less interventionist as possible to have the maximum expression of the terroir: in the early nineties they fully embraced biodynamics, certifying themselves as Bio and Demeter, convinced that this practice gives additional energy to the vigor. of the vine. The domaine to date is composed of nine hectares of vineyards, divided into the various localities of the Arbois, which are vinified individually. The grapes grown are quelel typical of the Jura: Chardonay, Savagnin, Poulsard, Trosseau and Poinot noir. In the cellar, fermentations are spontaneous, and decanting is dictated by the lunar calendar. In all wines no sulfur is added and they are not filtered. The wines of Domaine Ratte preset minerality, fruit and flowers, giving a vibrant and at the same time disarming sip.
