  Chassagne Montrachet Hodgepodge (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Very pale with light brown rim. Forward, tangy nose with predominant anise. Lovely weight with some sheen and surprising grip and penetration. Combination of red and black fruit with a candied element, slightly brambly but very good length. This far exceeded my expectation of Chassagne rouge.

  this a really good example of red chassagne and a good cote de beaune red wine. normally red cote de beaune is to expensive and way overrated but the domaine ramonet is a good exception too the rule.

  Nice. Good food wine. Fairly complex nose. Spicey with good mineral underneath.

  Opened and poured, this wine showed well and gave a more complete showing than a recently tasted 2009 Domaine Ramonet, Chassgne-Montrachet Rouge. This showed well for its accessible, youthful fruit on the bouquet and palate. The aromatics show red fruits with an underlying mineral or stone quality. The medium bodied palate gives a medium length finish with the acidity and tannins integrated within the youthful fruit. This has the potential to improve with an additional year or two of bottle age.

  Medium-minus intense and fully translucent at the core, without clearing at the rim. The nose shows medium intense liquorice-infused red fruits. Again we have a medium-plus bodied wine with buckets of sève on the mid-palate, which has the medium-plus acidity to keep pronounced flavours of cinnamon-laced black cherry lively. The medium-minus tannins are ripe to the point of having to be sought out to be determined, but overall this wine does not have the complexity and finesse previously encountered on this day. That does not mean it’s not a very pleasant and satisfying drink right now!
  It slips down remarkably easy and if only bars would serve wines like this, I’d might just turn into a barfly after all. The finish hammers this point home with 20-25 juicy seconds and adds a stony mineral component, so 88 points seem well deserved and I would drink this now or over the next few years. For the record, I was the only one to call this correctly as a Côte de Beaune, which was very satisfying to me................... TN Mike de Lange.
