Jean-Claude Rateau : biodynamic Beaune and Beaune 1ers crus
Jean-Claude Rateau produces fine Burgundy wines in Beaune and Beaune Premier Cru appellations on clay-limestone soils. Traditional grape varieties are planted : Chardonnay for the whites and Pinot Noir for the reds.
Jean-Claude Rateau comes from a winemakers family. His paternal grandfather, Lucien Rateau was a cellar worker and produced white and red Cote de Beaune. His maternal grandfather produced a Beaune village with great potential for ageing. His father cultivated and vinified plots of Bressandes Prevolles and Reversees. Jean-Claude has therefore been immersed in the wine world since his childhood.
After studying at the Wine Highschool, he undertook a "Tour de France" to visit winemakers and gain experience. He started his own business in 1979 with 2 hectares of family vines. Very close to his terroir and very concerned with the environment, a pioneer for the time, he made the choice of biodynamics. According to him, living organisms are essential to the vine.
Like the Trapet, Jean Claude and his wife are both winemakers, one in Burgundy, the other in Alsace. Indeed, his wife Sylvie Spielmann also produces biodynamic wines in Alsace.

The elegance of pinot noir shines perfectly in this AOP "Beaune," which is unfortunately quite underrated... and therefore the prices haven't skyrocketed :-)

A cuvée already ready to taste, made from 100% chardonnay on hillside terroir. Simple and effective! Note, this Bourgogne is more of the "fresh and taut" type than rich and round (with a slight effervescence to avoid too much SO2, which disappears immediately in the glass).

Bressandes is perhaps even more renowned than the AOP "Beaune 1er Cru"! A superb and unique climate where both structure and expressiveness (pepper and spices) can be found.A Burgundy 1er Cru that is still accessible... in price and tasting.

The Pinot Noirs from Reversées produce fine wines with an unparalleled silkiness in their youth. They express all the sensuality and femininity of Beaune, along with the length and aging potential of a 1er Cru.

A cuvée ready to taste, made from 100% chardonnay on hillside terroir. Simple and effective! Note, this Burgundy is more "fresh and tense" than rich and round (with a slight sparkling side to avoid too much SO2, which disappears immediately in the glass).

A superb Gevrey Chambertin whose prices are not yet breaking records, it's rare enough to be immediately cellared, on the spot, and especially due to the love at first sight that struck us: we quickly understood when the winemaker explained that his plots were located just below the classified Grand Cru climates, thus the most elegant area of the AOP!

This cuvée impresses at tasting, even when young. Located just above the 1ers Crus, this climate is unique, very well exposed, and surrounded by wild nature where biodiversity is respected to the letter. A judicious blend of 75% chardonnay and 25% pinot blanc/pinot beurot/pinot gris.

The "poor relative" grape of Burgundy, overshadowed by chardonnay... yet what a delightful surprise when tasting this 2022! It is Sylvain Pataille who is restoring the nobility of aligoté a bit further north. Jean-Claude Rateau is not far away! A superb tension, a beautiful balance, in short, nothing to envy from the more "prestigious" grape varieties!
