The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes 1er Cru from Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet has a menthol-tinged bouquet, fine definition even if it is over-shadowed by the accompanying Bâtard-Montrachet. The palate offers sour lemon, hints of white peach and yet it misses some tension on the finish, like a schoolkid losing interest in the lesson. I must admit that I was expecting more from this.
