2004 Ramonet Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet

2004 Ramonet Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet

Pale shade of lemon, with golden glints. An expressive bouquet of grape, ripe pear, almond, white flowers, with notes of honeycomb, beeswax, fig, cinnamon and smoke bolstering this wonderful bouquet. A supple texture on the palate, layered with honeyed fruit, stony minerality and vibrant acidity giving a heightened sense of energy to the mouthfeel. The lively acidity lends an apparent lightness to disguise the richness and complexity which gradually build expansively into a crescendo in the crisp and long saline finish. Sensational in one word….and a fine example that has restored our faith in white Bourgogne wines! Drink now or over the next 8 - 10+ years. 18.5/20
