Lot #244. Domaine Ramonet Montrachet 1986

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 97 JG.
"The decade of the 1980s at Domaine Ramonet was one of the most remarkable “hot streaks” that any white Burgundy-producing domaine has ever been on, and the ’86 Montrachet is an absolutely magical wine that transcends the general tenets of this vintage. The bouquet is flat out stunning at age thirty-one, soaring from the glass in a vibrant blend of apple, passion fruit, complex, chalky minerality, orange oil, a faint whiff of peppermint, gentle vanillin oak and a touch of exotic spiced meatiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and razor-sharp, with a bottomless core of fruit, superb soil signature, impeccable focus and balance and a very, very long, complex and racy finish. This majestic wine is at its absolute apogee, but will continue to dazzle for decades and decades to come. Brilliant juice." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Jul/Aug 2017, Issue #70
Provenance: The Thérèse Cellar
Notes: Nicked and lightly worn capsule, nicked and very lightly marked vintage neck tag, nicked and very lightly scuffed label. Purchased on release at Domaine Ramonet.
