"The 2014 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers reveals a complex bouquet of pear, white peach, hazelnut and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is taut and precise, with lovely energy and sap underpinning its glossy, supple attack. This was tasted side by side with the 2015 rendition, and the contrast was interesting: while Ramonet's higher appellation 2015s have nice energy and freshness, the wines lead with their generous textures; with the 2014s, the order of appearance is reversed."
