Chassagne Montrachet Les Vergers Ramonet 2012

Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 2012 is a mature-vintage white Burgundy from the Premier Cru climat of Les Vergers in the Chassagne-Montrachet commune of the Côte de Beaune. The Chardonnays of Domaine Ramonet are true benchmarks of Burgundy terroir. Fermentations are carried out without much settling of the solids, while new oak is kept to a minimum. The resulting wines are pure, dense and complex, unveiling themselves slowly. Founded in the 1920s by Pierre Ramonet, the domaine is now managed by third-generation proprietors Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet. "A deft touch of wood sets off cool and ripe aromas of white peach, pear and citrus that display nuances of rosemary oil and mint. The generous, rich and notably detailed flavours offer both good volume and solid mid-palate concentration before terminating in a mouth coating, complex, balanced and beautifully persistent finish. This is firmer than the Boudriotte and the Morgeot and will require a few additional years of cellaring before it will arrive at its apogee." Burghound
