2003 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 90
($64) Pale color. Ripe peach, flowers and smoky oak on the nose. Creamy and round but fresh, with good clarity and cut to the orchard fruit flavors. This boasts very good extract and balance. Finishes firm and persistent. A lovely showing.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: September/October 2005Rating: 89
High-toned and very pretty peach, apricot and a hint of the exotic complements the relatively precise yet rich and silky flavors that deliver a punchy, persistent and beautifully intense finish. This is the most complete wine to this point and a lovely effort as it is both balanced and impressively long.Issue: 3rd Quarter, 2005
Without a doubt, the Ramonet domaine is one of the masters of Chassagne-Montrachet. Now that the reins have been passed on to Noel and Jean-Claude (Andre Ramonet's sons), the domaine's wines have been significantly finer in terms of quality consistency. As Matt Kramer states in Making Sense of Burgundy, "this producer's Chassagnes are the wines against which the others are judged."
