Among the Chassagne-Montrachet premiers crus, the 1989 Chassagne-Montrachet-Morgeot exhibited a smell of flowers, minerals, and buttery fruit. In the mouth, it is deep and ripe, with great structure and persistence on the palate. This tightly knit, superbly concentrated wine will open up in 2-4 years and last for at least 10-12.
Sooner or later most white burgundy lovers make the pilgrimage to the village of Chassagne-Montrachet and pay a visit to the Domaine Ramonet. Legendary wines frequently emerge from these cellars and for that reason, only the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti's Montrachet sells for a higher price than that of Ramonet. However, other wines in their portfolio often make a more sensible purchase.
