🏰 The 2012 vintage for white Burgundy, particularly for Ramonet, is highly regarded, with critics noting that Ramonet "killed it" in 2012. [44] The 2012 Ramonet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru offers an attractive bouquet of apple, white peach, pastry cream, spring flowers, and oak vanillin, followed by a glossy, expansive palate. [13, 29] It presents subtle shades of apple, peach, baking spices, and brioche, with a rich attack and layered mature orchard fruit flavors. While having medium-minus acidity, it boasts fine extract and soft tannins, leading to a very complex finish with layers of peach, apple pie, noticeable minerality, vanilla, wood, earth, and spice. [32] The wine is described as having a tropical aroma and sweet fruit, with classic Ramonet notes of white flower, spearmint, stone fruit, and minerals, showcasing the ripeness of the vintage yet remaining well-balanced. [32] Other tasting notes highlight an aromatic bouquet of starfruit, pineapples, grapefruit, ginger flower, peanut skin, and chalk, with a palate showing superb precision, concentration, depth, and pure finesse.

It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses. 🥂 A truly special wine for celebratory dinners, significant milestones, or as a prized addition to a serious collector's cellar. It is drinking well now in its drinking cycle, though some may prefer further tertiary development with additional aging. [44]
