1989 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru

The 1989 Chassagne-Montrachet-Les Caillerets is sensational. From its smoky, exotic nose of earth, butter, oranges, and tropical fruits, to its layers of chewy, high octane fruit, this unctuous, well-balanced, large-scaled Chardonnay will make gorgeous drinking over the next decade. 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. Importer: Chateau and Estates, New York, NY.
