An expansive and wonderfully elegant, even lacy nose of honeysuckle, pain grillé, citrus blossom and green apple combines with understated, pure and refined medium plus bodied flavors that culminate in a stunningly intense finish that displays as much minerality, if not more, as the Chevalier. This is still very primary and will clearly require a few years in bottle before it's really ready for prime time. As Ramonet Montrachet goes, the '06 version is on the more elegant and restrained side rather than bold and powerful.

Outer quote mark I have loved this wine the two or three times I have tasted it and this is easily the best bottle I have encountered. The nose here is much more immediate, with a stunning mineral nose, hints of brioche coming through like last time, but with even more precision and focus, flinty scents developing with time. The palate is clean, tense and refined with hazelnut and quince, a weightlessness and poise that is quite hypnotic. This is one of my favorite white Burgundy wines, and this 2006 is impressive.
