- 2010 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru (2/6/2019)
There's struck match and perfectly ripe white peach on the nose. With a bit of air you get plenty of spice and the Ramonet telltale spearmint. It is full and generous in the mouth but also a wine of great balance and elegance. It builds through the palate, possessing good volume and showing a hint of lavender and apricot (perhaps botrytis that shows in many '10's?). A delicious wine that is drinking at the top of its game.

the grand crus from Ramonet are now out of my reach but with wines like this, I’m ok with it.

Isn't the spearmint telltale Chassagne?

Nice note. Isn't the spearmint telltale Chassagne?
Re: TN: 2010 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot
I heard this has to do with the filter that Ramonet uses. Anyone know?

I have heard it alleged that it's the particular fining agent they use.alan weinberg wrote: ↑February 8th, 2019, 5:49 pmthat’s the same story I heard/read. Rarely get it in other wines.
To me, it seems more likely to be related to barrel choices and cellar microflora, in so far as it continues to be a feature of the wines.

Always assumed it was derived from the barrel.

Always heard fining agent. Bentonite binds to terpenes, which one would think would reduce mint-like aromatics. But the chemistry may be more complicated. In any case it’s certainly possible it’s caused by the fining agent(s).

Right, which is not especially unusual... And not necessarily systematic, either.alan weinberg wrote: ↑February 10th, 2019, 4:19 pmper Remington Norman, Ramonet fines w casein and bentonite, then does a light plate filtration.
They are quite attentive to cooperage choices, but several of the coopers they use today didn't even exist when the reputation for "mintiness" was already established.
