Bouchard, Ramonet
Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils Le Corton 2000 Took a while to show, but then had a lot to say: powerful, masculine wine with an inner core of sweetness. Needs even more time.
Domaine Ramonet Chassange-Montrachet Boudriotte 1er Cru 2004 Drunk at Le Comptoir des Tontons with superb food, this was a fascinating wine. I wonder how much it would divide people: the nose still shows strong oak influence as well as sulfur, but the material underneath is so impressive. I’m convinced that this will all integrate. The palate was positively tannic. The cork looked like one of those you see only in a vintage port bottle. I think this will go a really long time.
I just took a look at the Burghound note and I think he’s really wrong on this wine. Time will tell.
