Tasting notes
The 2016 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien unfurls in the glass with aromas of pears, dried flowers and pastry cream, framed by a touch of light reduction that always seems to mark this cuvée chez Ramonet. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, tangy and pure, with a vibrant core of fruit, bright structuring acids and a long, pure finish.

(2014 was the first vintage for this bottling by Ramonet): Rather reduced nose hints at iodiney minerality. Densely packed and intensely flavored, with its pungent lemony citricity complicated by a distinctly petrolly, gunflinty note. Finishes impressively brisk, long and serious. Ramonet's vines in Saint-Aubin were not frosted in 2016, according to Jean-Claude. This very concentrated wine is more about soil than primary fruit.
