Approaching Peak: drinkable, but best years are ahead.
In 2026, this 2023 David Moret Le Clos Marsannay is in its early window and still short of peak integration. The drinking window opens in 2025, with the main peak band running from 2027 to 2034 before modeled decline around 2037. Structurally, read it as medium to full-bodied, with moderate tannins and fresh acidity. That means the right move is not automatic opening; it depends on whether you want youthful power, full integration or mature nuance. Compare nearby context through [region](/wines/region/burgundy) and [varietal](/wines/varietal/pinot-noir) before choosing the moment.

Tasting note
2023 David Moret Le Clos Marsannay leads with the bottle-specific profile already in the source record: Red berries, cherry, raspberry, currant, rosehip, subtle spice and mineral lift, with fresh acidity and supple tannins. The public-facing read is medium to full-bodied, carried by moderate tannins and fresh acidity, so the wine should feel shaped and food-oriented rather than loose or generic. Focus on the named fruit, spice, mineral, floral, herbal or oak details in the source note; those are the anchors for the page. The finish should be interpreted through that same evidence, with texture and freshness described in tasting language rather than internal scoring shorthand. That keeps the note specific to this bottle while avoiding private framework numbers.
The 2023 vintage
For 2023 in Marsannay, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, the vintage context is specific enough to matter: Burgundy 2023 gave a generous crop after a warm late season, with fruit-forward reds that still need careful reading by village and producer. The stored vintage row has no critic-score match for this exact row, so the context stays conservative. This matters because the drinking window should not be read from price alone. A ripe, hot or difficult year can shorten the useful window, while a fresh and balanced year can let the structure carry longer. The page therefore links vintage behavior to the actual window fields rather than claiming every collectible bottle improves indefinitely.
About David Moret
David Moret is framed here through concrete style signals: the wine record, the region, the grape and the source material captured for audit. The producer note avoids broad reputation claims and focuses on cellar-relevant style: extraction level, oak feel, fruit weight, acid line and tannin shape as expressed in this row. For this bottle, the useful producer fingerprint is not fame; it is how the house style handles Pinot Noir from Marsannay, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy. The resulting page treats the producer as a guide to texture, structure and age behavior.
From the cellar: pair with
duck breast with mushrooms
The savory depth suits Pinot Noir, while fresh acidity keeps the richer duck skin from feeling heavy.
herb-roasted chicken
Moderate weight and red-fruit lift work best with clean roast flavors rather than heavy smoke or sweetness.
aged Comte
Nutty salt and firm texture soften the tannins while leaving floral and mineral notes visible.

Frequently Asked
When should I open this bottle?
Use the 2026 phase as the guide. The window runs from 2025 to 2037, with the main peak band from 2027 to 2034. If the wine is before peak, patience can still improve integration; if it is already at peak, open based on occasion and food.
How long should it be decanted?
In 2026, decant 90 minutes to 2 hours. The wine is open but still short of peak integration, so air helps the frame relax.
What food works best?
Choose food that matches the public structure: medium to full-bodied weight, moderate tannins and fresh acidity. That points toward savory dishes with enough protein, salt or umami to support the wine without covering its fruit and aromatic detail.
Should I cellar more or look at another vintage?
If you want more integration, cellar toward the peak band. If you want a bottle for sooner drinking, compare nearby pages in [region](/wines/region/burgundy) and [varietal](/wines/varietal/pinot-noir) to find a wine closer to its ideal point.
