28 July 2017:
2014 Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes: Citrus fruit, almond, toasty and honeyed notes underscore the taut entry leading to a subdued complexity that tickles the palate while remaining somewhat austere and steely. If this is not very endearing at this youthful stage, this is a wine made with precision, showcasing a linear structure with concentration, subtle muscularity, purity and mineral core. 17.5/20
This came as a relief after a bout of disappointing recent encounters with various prematurely oxidised white Bourgogne wines, including a 2010 Corton Charlemagne!
We enjoyed this youthful Chassagne Premier Cru with roasted potatoes, topped with grilled Soumaintrain, ham, cornichons and a generous helping of mustard, as well as a beautifully matured Abbaye de Citeaux. Lovely Friday supper!
