The 2014 Champs Canet is peaking earlier than expected with mature fruit and honey on the nose, resolving and showing a little flabbiness but the structure is still there to hold this together. Drink up if this bottle is indicative but hopefully it is not.

Good on pop n’pour and better and better over 6+ hours. Fruit that is maturing with beautiful mineral, spice and emerging honey. Terrific depth, roundness and textural interest on the palate. Long, lush finish. In an early peak window, particularly with air.

Absoueltly stunning, precise rich focused and clean. Wonderful depth and concentration with a sense of seriousness. Simply delecious and tastes like a grand cru. Wow!

Sad to say goodbye to my last magnum, it showed magnificently. Round and juicy with ample tension. Extremely easy to drink, the kind of wine where I wished it were a jeroboam instead of a mag.

Burgundy Dinner with a Friend (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Popped-and-poured, then enjoyed over the next four hours. Ripe apple and baked apple throughout, this was beautiful to start, then kept getting bigger, better and more complex with more air. Minty and superbly spiced with so much complexity. More and more density emerged with more air, this was absolutely stunning at the end of the evening. I could easily have believed this was Grand Cru if served blind at the end of the night. Another amazing Ramonet 2014.

From magnum, remarkably precise and pure with great length. The more time in the glass the better. This was a grand cru performance, and it dramatically outperformed the 10 & 12 Leflaive Puligny 1ers served beside it. Will be delighted to drink this excellent wine again, and while it should last a long time the current phase is very enticing.

Taut, clean, and wound up like a tightly coiled spring. I absolutely LOVE Ramonet and adore '14 vintage. But I won't be opening my 1ers for quite some time, these deserve time to evolve. This will be a super wine when it's mature, a lot of material here.

More tensile than the Ruchottes, with a reserved nose of white flowers, mint and citrus zest, the Champs-Canet is taut, vibrant and mineral, with impressive power and length. I have always focussed on the Ramonets’ Chassagnes but this, like the Enseignères, was a persuasive argument for pursuing their Pulignys just as ardently.

Mineral, white flower, driven, turning electric, an excellent vintage fully blossoming. 93

Extremely good showing at the level of a Grand Cru: complete wine which combines density, volume and length.

Excellent tension and cut, precise and clean. A very fine example of the stellar work done at Ramonet in the 2014 vintage. From magnum.
