2005 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot

Vinous Media (VM)

Bright, light yellow. Reticent aromas of charred oak and white plum, with a fusel quality. Rich, broad and satisfying in the mouth; almost oily in texture without being exotic or heavy. Some saline and earthy soil tones leaven the impression of sweetness. Finishes chewy, broad and rich, with surprising sappiness. This cuvee has been consistently strong in recent vintages. -- Stephen Tanzer
