Product Description
The Ramonet family lost fully 90% of their crop to frost in this grand cru, but the 2016 Bienvenues-B?tard-Montrachet Grand Cru has turned out very well, offering up lovely aromas of green orchard fruit, Meyer lemon, fresh mint, pastry cream and iodine. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and satiny, with broad shoulders and a textural attack but considerable cut and tension. In its tangy, incisive profile it harks back to the white Burgundies of yesteryear, and I suspect it will prove very long lived.
"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
