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.

Ramonet produced three barrels of the 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru, an extraordinary wine that numbers among the high points of the vintage. Offering up aromas of ripe pears, peach, citrus oil, nutmeg and pastry cream, it's full-bodied, deep and elegantly textural, with incredible mid-palate volume, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. Impeccably balanced and ineffably complete, this is the best Montrachet the domaine has bottled since the incredible 2014.

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.

Jean-Claude Ramonet's 2015 Montrachet Grand Cru is exquisite, wafting from the glass with a youthful bouquet of lime, lemon pith, toasted nuts, pastry cream and fresh mint. On the palate, the wine combines the amplitude and texture of the Batard with the incisiveness and energy of the Chevalier, its glossy, multidimensional attack followed by a deep, limpid mid-palate and a long, penetrating finish.
