Bâtard-Montrachet

2009 Ramonet Noel Bâtard-Montrachet

Again high-toned, there’s a floral depth here and some lightly toasted bread. Rich and silky, indeed mouth-coating. There is impressive depth yet this wine remains light on its feet – some stony fruit in the finish. Love…

Fuller on the nose – there’s quite some authority here. There is more gras but this is far from a heavy Bâtard. Flavour ingrains in your palate – the more you want, the more you get, it’s just a matter of how long you can keep it in your mouth. This wine is very impressive indeed.

From Chassagne side. Owned by ‘the maison’ – everything’s done by a metayer “but done well.” The aromas are a little loose-knit. That said, this is very wide and has achingly long finishing flavours. Not showing at its best today.

The nose is round with a clear floral note in the middle. Full and round with a dense mid-palate that’s carried by a (citric) acidity. This wine has plenty to say; more open than the Bienvenues and with a stronger if not longer finish.

A little less floral, more depth. Full again in the mouth – there is power and energy here – but beautiful balance. A lovely river of mouth-watering flavours.
