Wine Critic Reviews
Ramonet produced three barrels of the 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru, an extraordinary wine that numbers among the high points of the vintage. Offering up aromas of ripe pears, peach, citrus oil, nutmeg and pastry cream, it's full-bodied, deep and elegantly textural, with incredible mid-palate volume, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. Impeccably balanced and ineffably complete, this is the best Montrachet the domaine has bottled since the incredible 2014.

(I tasted this near the end of its malolactic fermentation): Pure but reticent aromas of yellow fruits and iodine. Sappy, savory and tight, displaying serious inner-mouth tensile strength. More about saline minerality and menthol than primary fruit in the early going but this potentially outstanding wine is still in an embryonic stage.
