A rich, dramatic wine, the 1999 Montrachet Grand Cru bursts with aromas of honeyed orchard fruit, poached pears, cotton candy and a generous application of toasty new oak that remains prominent at age 23. Full-bodied, broad and fleshy, it's supple and enveloping, with a rich core of fruit, ripe acids and a generous, giving profile, concluding with a long, sweet, gently oak-inflected finish. This isn't the most incisive wine in the Ramonet cellar in this vintage, and it's fully mature today.
