Community Tasting Notes (average 95.8 pts. and median of 97 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/24/2020 & rated 97 points: A Ramonet Montrachet Vertical & 1999 Grand Cru Horizontal, Mostly Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (The Grill - New York NY): Served alongside the 1985. Both opened two hours before serving. Enticing floral start with sweet and savory spice, all just behind ripe and rich orchard fruit and lemon custard. Complex and layered with unfolding nuance, and both sweet and savory elements seemingly coming and going. Best when revisited and finished three hours after first poured. (3292 views)
 Tasted by tinybubbles on 2/13/2019 & rated 93 points: Given up for corked, then magically came back to life. Good depth, but only moderately expressive. 93 (1824 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/5/2017 flawed bottle: Montrachet Dinner: 10 Vintages of Ramonet and Marquis de Laguiche, 1983-2002 (Oceana - New York NY): What a sad disappointment. Very dark color and the extreme maturity to match. Good bottles are amongst the great white Burgundies in the world today, but tonight's bottle was not one of those. Barely drinkable, not enjoyable. (3095 views)
 Tasted by tinybubbles on 3/11/2017 & rated 93 points: From magnum. A somewhat muted nose and flatter palate than this wine is capable of. But that is all relative. 93- (2226 views)
 Tasted by dream on 2/2/2017 & rated 98 points: Simply stunning, very mature Montrachet. Darkish color and fabulous funky nose. Then a kaleidoscope of flavors that cascade over the tongue. Full and rich with a creamy texture and good acids underneath but this is fully mature showing notes of caramel, truffles, hazelnuts and tropical fruit that's been lying in the sun too long. So intense and complex on the finish. Decadent and funky and extraordinary! At Latour, Crystal Springs 2/1/17 (2672 views)
 Tasted by tinybubbles on 2/17/2016 & rated 97 points: Quite active and vibrant on the nose. Consistent acid backbone overlaid with citrus, light stone fruit, and floral notes. A more forceful profile at this point versus the '79. A perfect pairing with butter poached lobster (2033 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/12/2015 & rated 98 points: Most Epic Burgundy Dinner (Boulevard - San Francisco CA): Served double blind alongside Ramonet Montrachet 1979, 1985. Floral, intense and powerful apple with some lemon custard. Faint hint of sweetness overall and sweet spice with telltale Ramonet mint. Incredibly long. Perfectly harmonious. Sensational when open a couple of hours and served at dinner, even better four hours later after dinner. This was my favorite of tonight's vertical (96, 92, 86, 85, 79) that were all served blind. (6581 views)
 Tasted by Pacalet on 11/20/2011 & rated 93 points: From double mag. Nice golden color, still very fresh nose, minty, slight cooked apple, nutty. Palate is lush but a bit lumpy and heavy, still v decent for a 86 Chardonnay. (3171 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/12/2011 & rated 97 points: La Paulee Gala (New York, NY): This was almost certainly my white Burgundy of the night. Intensely rich, ripe and exotic fruit aromas with summer flowers and background mint. Palate shows such incredible harmony of ripe stone fruit, sweet spice and good acidity, minerality and energy. Better at finish than the start, and better at the final sip than the first taste. No rush to drink if I were lucky enough to have any in the cellar. Wow! (5632 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
