One of the greatest mature wines that I've ever encountered from Domaine Ramonet, this bottle of the 1983 Montrachet Grand Cru had never left the village of Chassagne until it made its way to my home in Beaune. Wafting from the glass with aromas of tangerine, popcorn, honeycomb, exotic fruits, pear and iodine, it's full-bodied, layered and ineffably complete, uniting tension and plenitude, texture and cut, in a union of pristine harmony. Bottles like these remain indelibly etched in one's memory.
