Noel Ramonet was very positive about his 2001s, calling them "more concentrated, better balanced, denser and more age worthy than our 2000s. They have better acidity and are not far behind the �99s in terms of when they should be consumed." As is usually the case in February, the grands crus were on their fining materials for a scheduled March bottling and thus not available for review; however, I did follow up with Ramonet to taste his 2000 big boys from bottle and they are reviewed below. Also, fans of the Domaine will notice the presence of a new wine, the Puligny "Enseigneres", which was purchased in 1991 but rented out as part of the purchase agreement. In total, Domaine Ramonet now exploits fully 16 ha, all of it owned outright. Diageo Chateau and Estate, New York, NY).

Noel Ramonet had me on his calendar for June 30 when I arrived for my appointment on May 30, but luckily he had a spare 45 minutes to show me his very promising 2002s from barrel. (I subsequently sampled his strong 2001s chez moi Ramonet described the young 2002s as very rich, but lower in acidity than the 2001s - typically 4.0 to 4.2 grams per liter, compared to the 4.4 to 4.5 found in the 2001s. Even so, he added, the new crop of wines is more powerful.

Noel Ramonet maintains that the young 2001s have more of every important component than the 2000s: higher sugars and acids, and more concentration due to the low crop level. It a vintage with finesse and suppleness," he says, "full and fine, with lots of aromatic interest and nothing fragile about it. Drink the 2000s first, then the 2001s and then the 1999s."
