2007 Ramonet Bienvenues Batard Montrachet
This is everything you want from a white burg, a nice comparison to the Carillon; a bit of reduction, nice zing of acidity, flint, and very pure, transparent palate and crisp finish. Open but could go much longer. Superb.
2011 Ramonet Bienvenues Batard Montrachet
Another great wine that gets a bit short shrift in such as spectacular flight. This is somewhat more reticent than the 07 but very elegant. Some beautiful white peach on the nose and very long finish.
2014 Ramonet Bienvenues Batard Montrachet
Another wow wine. This could be legendary. Some smoke and just stunning nose with delicious ripe white peaches, spearmint and a sense of verdancy. Palate was incredibly precise and crisp, and finish was long and super enjoyable.
2017 Ramonet Bienvenues Batard Montrachet
A bit richer than the 14, for me it just lacked a bit of verve and was just a bit less lithe than the 14, which is not a huge criticism. It could be that a lot of 17s are just a little bit tight at the moment. This wine seems to have immense potential in terms of concentration. There was a bit of the classic Ramonet spearmint here too.

Dude you are on a tear lately.
Bingo
Also, dude, holy fuck. You post some of the greatest bottles on a Monday night. I’m really glad we have you to showcase some of these bottles some of us can only dream about, and may only try in 10 or 20 years
Why is one “Bienvenue” and the others “Bienvenues”?
Not a wine I know at all (only by reputation) so am intrigued!
These are French wines.
