White table wine (NOT CHARDONNAY) plain, but very drinkable. No noticeable kick. light to medium. — 2 years ago
Black berries. Fruit forward but not light. Very good Beaujolais. Drank with trigger fish, couscous, and grilled shrimp in white wine butter sauce. Very good pairing even though a slightly bolder Beaujolais. — 12 days ago

Beautiful notes of white flowers, hint of wax, quince, lemon rind, oyster shell. Lifted acidity and juicy mid palate that ends in a long finish. Great stuff. — 15 days ago
Bright and fruity nose, stone fruits (apricot, not quite ripe tangerine), medium body, high acid, some minerality. Tasty wine and perfect with all the "nearly authentic Chinese cuisine" here. — 4 years ago

Continuing to dip into 2016 white burg at the top level and continuing to be pleased. Surely one of the most coveted and iconic Ramonet plots, albeit young, 2016 Ruchottes is very impressive tonight, proving the frost laden growing season is becoming a year of terroir over vintage. At first perhaps eerily opulent, it continues to focus with air and flaunts an explosive bouquet of stone fruit, citrus oils, wet stones, white flowers and toasty oak with Ramonet spearmint that comes in after some aeration. The palate is expansive, dense and concentrated with an elegant texture and just enough citrusy acids to support its imposing richness. If I were to nitpick I’d like more length but this is a great bottle. — 16 days ago
