Two weeks in France; 4/12/2024-4/24/2024: Wow I haven’t had the chance to have many Ramonets but thankful to have found this for a reasonable price off a wine list. This went through three phases; (i) reticent with only the signature Ramonet spearmint note showing, (ii) became more expressive but the vanilla note dominated, (iii) attained a perfect balance. Had so much of everything; loved how the fruit and structure were able to support the sheer weight of the wine (always a giveaway for a good GC). Rich, hedonistic, yet delicate at the same time. A haunting wine and one of the best whites I’ve tasted in my life. Also agree with a friend who said that warm vintage white Burgundies are better than reds.

Burgundy Dinner with Friends (71 Above - Los Angeles CA): Alongside the Leflaive. Ripe peach and baked apple come across as powerful and fleshy. There is enough structure to support these wonderful flavors, but I would err on drinking these within the next five years.

Expressive from the get go, with aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, mango and pineapple husk. It is full and layered and so silky of texture. There's a thread of light spice running through the flavour profile and whilst acidity is gentle the finish is bright and energetic and has minerally precision. Length is terrific.
