Domaine Ramonet, Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 2011

The 2011 Chassagnes from Ramonet are delightfully harmonious wines … and at the top of the range we find Les Cailleret. In the nose lovely pure white orchard fruits … a bit understated but very refined. On the palate quite rich and medium weight fruit with a very nice purity and texture. It’s harmonious and balanced but lack the weight and some of the vibrancy and drama of the magnificent 2010 Caillerets. Nevertheless drinking very well … gorgeous terroir.

  Puligny Montrachet Les Enseignères caught my attention back in the mid-1990s when Coche-Dury acquired a piece of this now-illustrious village vineyard.

While producing tremendous wines, it is perhaps somewhat over the top to claim that this vineyard is near grand cru quality-wise. It ...
