Detailed Description
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Boudriotte is, as usual, the most fragrant and expressive of Ramonet’s premiers crus, bursting from the glass with scents of clear honey, white flowers, fresh peach and pear. On the palate, its medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant, with an expressive core of fruit, succulent acids and a long, perfumed finish. This is a beautifully balanced, charming Boudriotte that will drink well young but also reward bottle age.

Reviews:

Wine Advocate: Ramonet’s finest red this year is the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Boudriotte, a lovely bottling that bursts with scents of wild berries, orange rind, sweet soil tones and dried flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and succulent, with powdery tannins, good depth of fruit and a fragrant finish.

Wine Spectator: Aromas of sandalwood and warm spices lead to strawberry, cherry and earth flavors in this silky, expressive red. Vibrant, balanced and elegant, with a lingering, mouthwatering finish. Give this a year or two to really sing.
