Ramonet, Chassagne Montrachet Rouge Vintage:2021 The 2000 Dom Pérignon P2

The 2000 Dom Pérignon P2 opens in the glass with aromas of waxy citrus oil

the Roagna 2014 Barbaresco Albesani opens to a medium ruby color with pretty garnet highlights

There is excellent richness to the relatively generous and round yet attractively intense and saline middle weight flavors that benefit from an abundance of dry extract that coats the mouth on the lemony finish

This is a chiseled and sleekly powerful effort that should also be capable of aging effortlessly for years

Ramonet, Chassagne Montrachet Rouge Vintage:2021 The 2000 Dom Pérignon P2A cool, pure and peppery earth inflected combination reflects notes of primarily red berries with just a hint of dark currant. The round yet nicely detailed middle weight flavors are not especially dense, but I like the depth on the ever so mildly austere finale that flashes a touch of warmth. This manages to avoid the usual Chassagne rouge rusticity and is a wine that could easily be enjoyed young if thats your preference.
