Domaine Ramonet
Bienvenue Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Puligny-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Clean! 2012 BBM is in a terrific place, all about richness and intensity with deep complex layers of butterscotch, spiced orchard fruit and candied white flowers laced with minerality. The palate is voluptuous with tremendous density and volume and a finish that keeps on going. Top notch white burg!

Tasted blind. Dark gold color, like oil in the glass. Slightly oxidative nose. You can tell this is super ripe just from smelling it. Notes of apricot, stones, mint, warm citrus, wet stones and some coconut. Creamy and heavy in the mouth. Lots of weight. Strikes me as a big bottle from a ripe year and the mint says, Ramonet so I go 92 Monty as my guess. Mixed views on this wine at the table, but I'm a fan.

Bright and light. Menthol and gentle floral notes with white pepper and great clarity. Nimble and deft but still focused. Gorgeous.

Nov 16th, 2022Have not posted in a while this is a stunning mature white Burgundy. Incredible aromatics of lemon marmalade , toffee , menthol , guava and lots of minerals . Incredible depth persistence on the palate with tons of dry extract on the long powerful finish . Best white burgundy I have had in awhile .

Oct 31st, 2022Medium gold color. Thick like oil in the glass. Killer exotic aged burg nose. Notes of honeysuckle, citrus, white flowers, mint, lime blossoms and kiwi fruit. Tons of acidity matched up against rich fruit. This took us on a roller coaster all night, with crazy crescendos of fruit and smells. Best of the three BBMs tonight.

Jul 31st, 2022Wow. A lovely rich nose. Honey, menthol, greengage, floral notes hints of white pepper. On the palate this is beautifully on point. Rich, long, but with amazing freshness, tension and acidity. This is all there and has a great future.

Jan 2nd, 2022This is lovely. Slightly reductive in the nose. Gunpowder hints, fresh white flowers, slate, mint. The palate is fresh and driven. Great tension with driving acidity and really full midpalate. Excellent stuff

Good but not fantastic

Tasted blind. Medium gold color. Tight nose. Some apricot and lemon, but not giving much like the other whites despite it having ample air time. Has lots of fruit and power inside, but there is a slight taint that comes and goes that hides this wine’s true self. It came around though and showed better before it was polished off. Hugely enjoyable but just a touch off.
