On the occasion of our upcoming 2002 White Burgundy tasting, I am posting my tasting notes from Domaine Ramonet:

June 2004 with Noel Ramonet

2002 Aligote Bourgogne- Steely, racy, ripe fruit, with some oak (100% barrique)

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Villages- Perfumed/lean, focused chardonnay. Ripe, with some vanilla and butterscotch.

2002 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignieres- Ripe, rich fruit, with some mineral, steel, acid and alcohol (youthful). Some vanilla and butterscotch.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot- Smoke, vanilla, perfume; rich, ripe fruit with limestone and good acidity.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet La Boudriotte- Somewhat closed with some perfume. Rich and ripe with good acidity, although leaner than the Morgeot.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers- Lemon custard, spice and vanilla. Concentrated, big fruit with richness and good acidity; clean and focused.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet En Cailleret- Floral, racy, spicy with limestone and lemon/lime. Very deep with good acid.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Grandes Ruchottes- Plum and pear with perfume and vanilla. Well-balanced ripe fruit, large wine with much more acid (though well-integrated).

2002 Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet- Rich with high alcohol presence. Spicy, racy and powerful with a sense of the barrique aging.

2002 Chevalier-Montrachet- Somewhat closed, but able to coax out fruit and perfume with complex minerals (limestone). Big and powerful with acidic forwardness.

2002 Batard-Montrachet- Wet limestone and mineral presence, with spice. Large wine, with alcohol and acidity with rich fruit.

2002 Le Montrachet- mineral and smoke, spicy, sweaty, with lemon, mineral and hazelnut. Extremely youthful with acid and toast still integrating.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Rouge- Earthy, rustic, spicy with ripe cherry and minerals. Good tannins.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de La Boudriotte Rouge- Spicy, rich fruit. More integrated tannins. Fruit forward.

2002 Chassagne-Montrachet La Boudriotte Rouge- Earthy, Espoisses nose, with ripe, rich fruit. Tannins present.
