Some of the 1993 red Burgundies are beginning to drink beautifully, as their structural elements melt away to reveal wines of beautiful precision and transparency, and Ramonet’s 1993 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Boudriotte is a textbook example. Pretty aromas of dried rose petal, red-black cherry, grilled game bird and forest floor precede an ample, medium-full wine with a fine-grained chassis of chalky tannins that is taut without being austere. The sweetness and scale of this wine’s core of fruit suggest that chaptalization might have been a touch heavy handed, which keeps the score down a few points, but this is still quite reserved and could benefit from another 5 years in the cellar.
