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.

Vinous (88-91)Exotic liqueur-like nose; in a slightly oxidative phase today. Dense and plump, with a captivating honeysuckle flavor. Shows good depth and power, not to mention length, but finishes with a trace of alcoholic bitterness. Still, Noel and I agreed that this, like the Ruchottes, is more typical for its site than most of his other 2003s. (Ramonet's Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet showed a more exaggerated nut skin character and was impossible to assess with confidence, while the impressively fat Le Montrachet was rather heavy as well as a bit tired. I will report on these wines next year after they're in bottle. ). |
