1990 Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte Rouge

The 1990 Clos de la Boudriottes, from a vineyard owned exclusively by the Ramonet's, is not-so-humbly called "the Romanee-Conti of the Cote de Beaune" by Noel Ramonet. It is a fatter, deeper-flavored wine than the 1990 Clos St.-Jean with copious amounts of sweet cherry fruit intertwined with aromas of herbs. More fleshy, with slightly higher alcohol and a soft, succulent finish, it should be drunk over the next 5-6 years. Several attractive, spicy red wines are overlooked in the bevy of renowned white wines made at this domaine. Importer: Chateau and Estates, New York, NY.
