The 1999 Chevalier-Montrachet displays oak, minerals, and flowers in its aromatics. This medium-bodied, nuanced, rich wine possesses outstanding depth and purity. "We're not used to making such refined wines at Ramonet. We're more into the Caterpillar structure," said Noel Ramonet. This is an elegant wine that most certainly would have merited a score in the nineties were it not for a touch of dryness in the finish.
