Captivating nose combines white fruits, mint and menthol, lifted by powdered stone and a floral topnote. More saline than the foregoing samples, conveying a dry but round umami character and notes of minerals and menthol.

The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is a magical wine, offering up a youthfully reserved bouquet of lemon oil, preserved citrus, white flowers, subtle oak vanillin, wheat toast and a smoky top note. On the palate, the wine is searingly intense, with superb concentration, lovely depth and dimension and incredible energy in this ripe white Burgundy vintage. Unsurprisingly, this is the most tensile, vertical wine in the Ramonet cellars this year and will benefit accordingly from bottle age.Inc. VAT£2,064.26 -

As remarkable as it may sound given the typical state of evolution for the average 2002 white, this is still aromatically youthful if not primary with its densely fruited and gorgeously complex aromas of various white orchard fruit, white flowers, spice, jasmine tea and soft wood and petrol scents. There is excellent concentration to the broad-shouldered and overtly muscular flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract while delivering strikingly good complexity on the powerful, driving and explosively long finish where a bit of wood toast emerges. While the '02 Ramonet Monty is drinking beautifully well, make no mistake that it will continue to hold, and may even improve if only slightly, for at least another decade. In sum, this is really most impressive.Inc. VAT£4,160.66 -

This is also notably reserved but aggressive swirling eventually liberates the densely fruited and noticeably minty nose that is composed by notes of white peach, pear, honeysuckle, wood and citrus hints. As is also typical, this large-scaled, intense, concentrated and overtly powerful effort is clearly bigger, richer and more imposing than the Chevalier but in 2013 I would describe the palate impression as even more refined than usual as it's taut and focused rather than simply massive. The complexity is already amazing as is the strikingly good persistence of the palate staining and beautifully well-balanced finish. And again like the Chevalier this is an exercise in harmony and grace that should enable this monument in the making to age effortlessly for years to come.Inc. VAT£2,701.46 -

The 2016 Montrachet Grand Cru is stunning, unfurling in the glass with youthfully reticent but already complex aromas of crisp green pear, mandarin, dried white flowers, honeycomb, toasted nuts and iodine. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, deep and powerful, with striking amplitude and volume, immense concentration and chewy structuring extract, its satiny attack segueing into a tense, focused mid-palate and finish. This is an austere, old-fashioned rendition of Ramonet's Montrachet that it is shaping up to be one of the three or four greatest white Burgundies of the vintage.Inc. VAT£3,428.66 -

Here we arrive at the pinnacle of white wine, and the results are breathtaking. The initial impression is surprisingly approachable, with abundant fruit aromas of ripe apples and lemon peel with generous notes of vanilla, ginger, and smoke and a firm mineral underpinning. It is a wine of intense concentration and power on the palate with fabulous extract and vibrant acidity. Despite all the power, however, it never loses its elegance or finesse. Truly a marvel.Inc.
