AN ENVIABL;E COLLECTION OF RAMONET'S BEST
RAMONET
The continued success of Ramonet is due to the team work of brothers of Noel in the cellar and Jean-Claude in the vineyard. Grape bunches are partially de-stemmed, briefly cold soaked in cement and macerated for ten days. The juice is generally aged in one third new barrels, in either Alliers or Vosges oak depending on the vineyard's needs. slightl acidification lends a distinctive spearmint quality that highlights the minerality of the wines. Muscular, full bodied concentrated wines, capable of being aged for a long time and Ramonet arguably take their Batard Montrachet, a smoky, oily, and expressive wine, to heights close to the brightly lit sun of Montrachet. Among the premier crus, the Ruchottes often stands out with honey suckle, white truffle, spiciness and outstanding length.
Bâtard-Montrachet--Vintage 1989
Côte de Beaune, Ramonet
"The 1989 Batard-Montrachet offers up an interesting nose of vanillin, mint, butter, peach, and apricot fruit. In the mouth, there is awesome concentration. As good as this wine is, I am not convinced it is any better than the Chassagne-Montrachet-Les Ruchottes. Long, with good acidity and plenty of buttery fruit, this big, lusty, hefty Batard should drink gorgeously after another 3-4 years in the cellar." Wine Advocate #79 (Feb 1992) Robert Parker
