This bottle deserves a mention all on its own. The 1990 Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet ‘Les Vergers’ was absolutely lights out when we opened it last night. This is what older Chardonnay should taste like. This bottle had a pure golden hue, sweet baked biscuits and butterscotch and the nose, as soon as I raised this glass I knew we were in for a real treat and the palate did not disappoint; pure unadulterated magic in a glass. Honey, pair, apple with really defined layer after layer of juicy balanced fruit. You never know what you are going to get with old white burgs but this one hit the sweet spot. Bloody lovely!
