Domaine François Raveneau
Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2000
Great note. When you hit one like this it reminds of the magic behind the obsession
Bonneau du Martray
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2004
this used to be the great value white grand cru but has suffered from significant pricing increase coupled with a horrible track record of premox. This, however, is an excellent bottle, a little herbal from the vintage but clean and with a good backbone of acidity, citrus, and nice complexity. Not the level of 85/86, but happily a solid white Burg. — 10 days ago

Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace Riesling
previous times. Damn autocorrect
@Alan Weinberg I absolutely remember, if you read my post I acknowledge the peer pressure those notes put on me to open a bottle.
Domaine Ramonet
"Les Vergers" Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014
I bet that is a brilliant bottle.
Yes. Brilliant. Can’t keep hands off Ramonet 2014s. Awesome.
I can only imagine. Those Chassagne 1er Cru bottlings chez Ramonet back to the ‘80s are some of the most delicious white Burgs of my life.

mountain of thunder indeed—in the zone and it would stay there for another decade (but not this bottle). The depth of flavor and cool menthol tame the wild layers of flavor. With a citrus center, it stays focused while providing a kaleidoscope of flavors. The texture is oh so soft as it lays on the palate and then just drives through into my brain. “Iron fist in a velvet glove” was used to describe claret but it works here. Grand cru in all but name, the finish may get me through the next two weeks of being dry. It just echoed. The term head spinning is apt. — 7 days ago
