The 2023 Pierre Labet Beaune Clos du Dessus des Marconnets Blanc is a refined white Burgundy from the northern part of Beaune, crafted from 100% Chardonnay and showcasing a modern, terroir-driven style. The nose is fresh and expressive, offering notes of pear, citrus and white flowers, layered with hints of almond, brioche and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a balance of richness and tension, combining a smooth, slightly creamy texture with vibrant acidity. Flavours of orchard fruit and citrus are supported by a chalky mineral backbone, leading to a long, precise and elegant finish. The style is both fresh and structured, with Meursault-like depth while retaining Beaune’s finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers seeking a more serious white Burgundy with both richness and minerality. It’s polished yet energetic, offering great complexity without heaviness. Drink from 2026 or enjoy now with aeration; cellar for 6–10+ years. Perfect with grilled fish, poultry or creamy seafood dishes.
