A step down from a bottle four years ago (same parcel). In the good+ range, not excellent as expected. My initial read of the 2016 Ramonet GC's was more positive soon after release than it is now, which is more in line with consensus on the vintage. Decanted for 90 minutes then back in the bottle for an hour before pouring.

Boulevard 21: 2016 Ramonet Montrachet A showy wine reflecting the vintage. Beguiling aromas of wet stone mineral with sweet apple, buttered popcorn & delicate spice. A rich round creamy texture with serious depth while remaining quite delicate and nuanced. Very Impressive 96

Trio of 2016 Ramonet. The Batard was impressive out of the gates, and was the ultimate favorite of half the team tonight. Very impressive. The Bienvenues was floral, lovely, unique. The Montrachet showed depth, class, richness, and in the end was my favorite. A gorgeous trio shows how good the 2016 vintage can be in white burgundy for great producers.

At the beginning, Pronounced aroma of pear, white flower, like drinking fresh juice.
After 3hrs in the glass, nose of little bit metal.
flavor changed to sesame, cookie, and popcorn.
Very clean and fresh! Super loooong finish!
Not that powerful.

Domaine / Jean-Claude Ramonet Cellar Visit and Tasting (Day 4, Visit 4) (Chassagne-Montrachet): Tasting at the domaine. We are not going to see many bottles of this treat. Rich start followed by amazing textures middle-through-finish. Very, very, very long finish. Once this baby fat burns off, there will something stunning here. 96-98 point potential.
