May 5, 2024 - Very enjoyable and quite precise bottle over a fantastic lunch at Cave et Cuisine in Demigny. Highly recommended!
September 9, 2023 - 2017 Chassange Montrachet Rouge Blind: Tasted blind. Can guess easily that this is a Burgundy red with typical red fruits, red cherry and strawberry. Medium finish, medium acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is fine. Just entered drinking window. Will improve with ageing. Still youthful. Guess that its a village as I tasted it blind.
December 9, 2022 - Walk around tasting. Easy and forward red fruit with tannic hints, but alll quite well balanced for near-term enjoyment.
October 16, 2022 - Beau potentiel, très fermé, belle cerise, fruit rouge. Trop jeune il n’est clairement pas asser jasant
October 9, 2022 - Petits fruits rouges légèrement acidulés, des épices, se boit bien, assez frais, une touche de rusticité en finale, simple mais efficace. 89-90
Red fruit with a slight tangy feel to them, touch spicy, fresh and drinks well, simple but good.
September 14, 2022 - Monthly Tasting Group HWS September 2022; Chassagne Montrachet (By VD): In the bouquet strawberries, mushrooms, impressions of metal and cheese? On the palate red berries, minerals, earth, good acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Overall; elegance, finesse and some length.
May 25, 2022 - 13,5% alcohol. Tasted blind.
Luminous, pale and fully translucent raspberry red color with a youthful garnet hue and a thin, almost colorless rim. The nose is fragrant yet somewhat restrained - unlike my previous time with this wine, when the nose was so much more expressive - with slightly closed yet wonderfully pretty and seductive aromas of ripe cherries and floral nuances of violets, a little bit of brambly raspberry, light stony mineral notes, a hint of savory meatiness, a sweet touch of cranberry sauce and a whiff of ripe, darker-toned fruit. The wine is bright, youthful and quite intense on the palate with a medium body and bright flavors of ripe raspberries and fresh red cherries, some gravelly mineral tones, a little bit of crunchy cranberry, light savory notes of toasted woody spice, a perfumed hint of violets and a touch of sweeter and darker-toned fruit. The overall feel is silky smooth yet wonderfully firm with its high acidity and gentle, light and quite friendly tannins. The finish is long, gently grippy and slightly spicy with bright, dry flavors of fresh cherries and brambly black raspberries, some stony mineral notes, a little bit of savory wood spice, light tart notes of lingonberries and crunchy cranberries, a hint of floral lift and a balanced touch of sour cherry bitterness.
Just like the last bottle of this wine, this is still a beautiful, seductive and very youthful Côte de Beaune red. When tasting the wine, I was quite adamant that this is a Pinot Noir and most likely either a Burgundy or a darn good emulation. It was funny, though, how the nose in this wine was almost explosive a few years ago, while now it was much more restrained and fine-tuned, yet still very similar in overall character and showing wonderful varietal typicity. True to Ramonet's style, this is a red wine that drinks more like a white wine, thanks to its lithe body, bright acidity and cool mineral core. It is starting to drink quite well at the moment, but I'd still let the wine age for another 10 years or more, just to grant it some additional finesse and complexity. Good value at 38,80€.
September 7, 2021 - Nothing special
June 27, 2021 - Toujours aussi bon, un nez épicé, réglisse un peu, du fruit rouge assez mur en quantité tout comme en bouche, suave et frais à la fois, belle longueur.
Always as good, spices on the nose, touch of liquorice, lots of ripe red fruit as well as on the palate, fresh and with some grip, nice length.
May 4, 2021 - Crunchy and bright, with super-fresh red fruits. A bit grainy and straightforward at this age, but it's already lovely with food.
