WineSaint
Wet limestone and citrus pith dominate this tightly coiled premier cru. White peach and crushed oyster shell emerge with coaxing, but the wine remains stubbornly closed. Classic Ramonet minerality runs deep, yet the texture feels almost austere at this stage. A Chassagne that demands serious cellaring. Drink 2018-2035.
