The 2019 Domaine Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet is a distinguished Chardonnay from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically the Chassagne Montrachet appellation. As a Grand Cru, this wine is crafted by Domaine Ramonet, a producer known for its exceptional wines.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rates this wine a notable 94 points, highlighting its "muscular and powerful" nature. The wine is described as having a complex bouquet with aromas of honeyed orchard fruit, warm spices, nutmeg, almonds, nougat, orange oil, and wheat toast. It is full-bodied, rich, and fleshy, offering a ripe and concentrated palate. The wine's lively acids contribute to its long, resonant finish, according to the reviewer.

Burghound offers an even more favorable review, scoring it 95 points. The review notes that the nose is "firmly reduced," suggesting that the wine benefits from decanting. Burghound praises the wine for its underlying energy and describes the flavors as rich yet precisely detailed. The middleweight plus flavors culminate in an impressive length with a bitter lemon-inflected finale. Although the wine isn't as structured as usual, it remains a wine of considerable potential, expected to reach its peak in about a decade.

Overall, the 2019 Domaine Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet is a wine of depth and complexity, with both reviewers acknowledging its potential for aging and development. While it may need some time and air to fully open up, its impressive structure and vibrant flavors make it a standout choice for those seeking a high-caliber Chardonnay from Burgundy.
