2018 Jean-Claude Ramonet, Montrachet Grand Cru 1x750ml

Robert Parker 96

The 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru is ample and giving, wafting from the glass with aromas of rich orchard fruit, orange oil, confit citrus, white flowers, wheat toast and spices. Full-bodied, satiny and giving, its broad attack segues into a young, fleshy mid-palate that’s girdled by lively acids, before concluding with a long, saline finish. This will offer an unusually broad drinking window, as it’s already quite approachable out of the gates. [William Kelley, 12/26/2021]
