Ramonet Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2018

97 Points | Decanter The Bâtard is produced from three parcels, all on the Puligny side. This iconic wine in the portfolio is striking above all for its elegance. There is a graceful beauty to the ripe apple and apricot fruit with notes of hazelnut, white flowers, and a well-integrated bit of spice and butter from the cask ferment and 18 months of aging, although nothing is overdone here. The wine is admirable precisely because it has less butter and fat than some Bâtards show, even in 2018. There is impressive length here, but absolutely no heaviness. Masterful.
