RAMONET
Ramonet to Chardonnay is the equivalent of Domaine Romanée Conti or Henri Jayer to Pinot Noir: a legendary and timeless partnership. The domaine was established by the reclusive genius, Pierre Ramonet, in 1920, though the continued success is due to the team work of brothers Noel in the cellar and Jean-Claude in the vineyards.
Fruit from vines younger than 18 years are discarded and yields are greatly restricted. Grape bunches are partially de-stemmed, briedly cold soaked in cement and macerated for 10 days. The juice is generally aged in one third new barrels, in either Alliers or Vosges oak depending on the vineyard's needs for 12-15 months. Le Montrachet, the brightest star in the Ramonet sky, is aged in 100 new oak barrels.
Ramonet wines are muscular, full-bodied and concentrated wines, capable of lasting decades.
Montrachet--Vintage 1992
Côte de Beaune, Ramonet
Wax capsule, nicked label
"Wonderfully penetrating nose of razor-sharp delineation and purity that offers white flowers, hazelnut, ripe pear and the barest hint of botrytis, which rather than interfering in the clear expression of the underlying terroir in this case only serves to add to the incredible aromatic complexity. The flavor precision is nothing short of phenomenal as they're dripping with minerality and knockout intensity yet gargantuan scale and raw power are delivered with incredible grace and balance. The intensity builds from the mid-palate and continues on building to a finish that I could honestly still taste a week later. A monumentally great and emotionally thrilling Ramonet Montrachet that cedes nothing to the reference standard Montys from the '82, '83, '85 or '96 vintages, which is simply the highest compliment that one can pay any white Burgundy. Consistent notes." BH, November 23, 2004
