98 AM "The first vintage . . . . A wonderfully expressive and now fully mature nose displays notes of sous-bois and dried herbs plus a touch of natural spice that is picked up by the big, rich, deep and strikingly complex big-bodied flavors that still have the intensity and power to both stain and coat the palate on the sappy, delicious and gorgeously long finish. This is one of those relatively rare wines capable of delivering power with finesse and the length doesn't seem to quit. A great debut to one of the most storied white wines in Burgundy and while the '78 Ramonet Bâtard is a brilliant wine, it's clear that there is just another dimension here. Tasted four times . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
