Ramonet
Domaine Ramonet was established in the late 1920s by infamous Pierre Ramonet. It has been recognised for some time as the leading estate in the Chassagne. Now under his grandsons Noel and Jean-Claude they have remained remarkably consistent with superb Chardonnay at all levels. Their masterpiece Montrachet is on the wish list of collectors and wine lovers alike. They also offer some increasingly popular red wine.

A touch of matchstick character is present on the cool if ripe aromas of honeysuckle, carnation, lemon-lime and crushed fennel. The supple and caressing medium weight flavors are rich to the point of opulence with excellent density and punch that carries over to the impressively long and sappy finale where the only reproach is again a touch of warmth. I would not describe the '19 BBM as a classic example from Ramonet but it's extremely good nonetheless.$6,900.00 -

Here there is enough reduction to largely mask the nuances of the fruit though it's evident that the wood treatment is more prominent though not so much that it shouldn't progressively integrate over time. On the palate there is a beautiful texture to the expansive and sleek medium weight plus flavors that possess focused power on the impressively complex, persistent and impeccably well-balanced finale. In the context of the Ramonet BBM, the 2020 version is a big wine and perhaps not quite as refined as it normally is, though with that said, it's also more powerful than usual. Either way, this should amply repay 10 to 12 years of keeping.$1,300.00 -

(6x75cl) 2014Vinous (92)
Very pale, bright yellow. Rather wild scents of lemon, lime, white flowers and crushed rock. Fat, savory and sweet, with captivating salty minerality enlivening the chewy flavors of white peach, citrus zest and smoky oak. Wonderfully tactile yet smooth wine with superb subtle length and salinity. Shows more dimension than the 2015 version. No shortage of sweetness here but has lovely supporting acidity.$1,915.00 -

Taut and nicely oaky, this delivers lemon cake, apple and baking spice flavors. Balanced on the lean side, gaining richness with air. The elements dovetail with a tactile feel on the long finish.$353.00 -
(6x75cl) 2017Vinous (89-91)
(from 60- and 35-year-old vines): Bright yellow with a green tinge. Sexy sulfidey complexity to the stone fruit aromas. In a distinctly supple style and the most feminine of the '17s I tasted at Ramonet, conveying lovely sweetness and purity. Terrific fat fruit here, not to mention enticing early balance.$2,560.00 -
