2014 Domaine Ramonet, Montrachet Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

RP99 "The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru is without doubt one of the wines of the vintage, and a real classic in the making. Aromas of tangerine oil, confit citrus, pear, toasted nuts and subtle spice introduce a generous, powerful wine with breathtaking balance and precision. There's so much depth and incipient complexity wrapped up in its intricate structure; it's suppler than the Batard but no less tight knit. For all the fuss that is made of Montrachet, here is one wine that really lives up to the reputation of the vineyard and the domaine, which I'd argue is its greatest exponent. If this can survive for 20 years in the cellar, then it will be perfection itself." WK Jan 2018

"Pierre Ramonet arrived in Burgundy in the late 1920s. The crown jewel of his acquisitions would occur in 1978 when he purchased a plot of Montrachet. His grandchildren, who are the current owners, Noël and Jean-Claude have tended the vineyards since 1984. They produce 24 appellation wines from 16.2 ha, located primarily in Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. With the 2014 vintages, the name changed from Domaine Ramonet to Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet as Noël chose to lease his vineyards to his brother." AM for BH Jun 2022
