The vintage for white burgundy has really focused up since release, less flabby and more incisive, balanced and better showcasing terroir. Such is the case for 15 Ruchottes, one of the best plots in Chassagne, often of Grand Cru quality. It’s still showing young, but plenty giving, immensely concentrated, ample and rich with all the Ramonet goodies- white orchard fruit, white flowers, vanilla bean, macadamia nut and the signature spearmint freshness. A spine of racy acids and layered minerality provide the perfect balance to its richness. Beautiful wine, with (hopefully) many years to go.

Drank over two days, which showed much better than previous bottles, if still evidently overripe. Cotton candy, rich yellow fruit, botrytis, lightly grassy, bitter oak and razor sharp. Immense structure and density living up to the name of the terroir. 93

pretty classy white burg with great minerality, bracing acidity with a hint of almost pleasant bitterness, lemon curd.

Burgundy Dinner with Friends (Formento's - Chicago IL): Drinkable and still tasty, but much more advanced vs where this should be.

Bottle showed advanced and while not totally premoxed this was a shadow of what it should've been.
