Jean-Claude Ramonet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2016

White
Puligny-Montrachet, France
7.4
WineSaint

A challenging wine that shows 2016's harsh vintage effects. Tight and unyielding on the nose with fleeting mineral and floral hints. The palate carries an austere, almost bitter edge where structure overwhelms fruit. This grand cru site deserves better than what nature delivered this year.
