Ramonet's 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes is superb, and it's beginning to drink very well, opening in the glass with a complex bouquet of lime, green pear, iodine and cornmeal, framed by light reduction and some nicely integrated smoky new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-full, tensile and vibrant, with lovely textural gloss, superb depth at the core and an almost saline finish. This shares a number of characteristics with the 2014 Ruchottes, but it's a touch finer boned and less powerful. A beautiful example of the Domaine's emblematic wine. 2018 - 2030. WA
