First crack at this wine, and it met expectations, which were high. Very Ramonet, to use the cliche, but it's accurate. A lot going on with this wine, and at this point it's somewhat more intellectually rather than hedonistically pleasing, unlike a lot of the high end 2014 white burgs we've tried.

The Ramonet Montrachet is without doubt one of the wines of the vintage in 2014 and a real classic in the making. Aromas of tangerine oil, confit citrus, pear, toasted nuts and subtle spice introduce a generous, powerful wine with breathtaking balance and precision. There’s so much depth and incipient complexity wrapped up in its intricate structure; more supple than the Bâtard but no less tight-knit. For all the fuss that is made of Montrachet, here is one wine which really lives up to the reputation of the vineyard and the domaine which I’d argue is its greatest exponent. If this can survive for twenty years in the cellar then it will be perfection itself.

Complex, intriguing, and utterly joyful even at this early stage.
