Name: Château Ramafort Cru Bourgeois Médoc Bordeaux 2016
Brand: Château Ramafort
Availability: InStock

We are thrilled to announce the much-anticipated arrival of Château Ramafort 2016 from one of the greatest modern vintages. It replace the phenomenal success of 2015 vintage which has now completely sold out (7,500 bottles!).

We can't imagine a more worthy successor. One which after almost a decade of maturation shines with all the precision, heightened freshness and classicism that characterises this outstanding vintage. Where layers ripe cassis with tobacco, woodsmoke, and spice make for a palate plush yet composed, with silky tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. In other words, classic, sensual Cru Bourgeois elegance and fabulous value in every glass.

Another fine vintage for Andrew McIness's Ramafort, the 2016 takes the ripeness and expression of the excellent 2015 and adds a nudge more structure and texture. As ever, a claret of remarkable character and presence, with luscious cassis fruit, tobacco, woodsmoke and spice in perfect balance. With time in the glass, more layers of aroma and flavour emerge, and tannins are ripe and fine-grained. Real finesse here.

Easy to understand why this wine is such a popular choice.

Malcolm - April 2021

A classic Medoc with a deep colour yet smooth and velvety finish. I bought a case of having tried a couple of bottles. Great value for 2010 claret - would definitely recommend.

Following one of Esme's recommendations I tried some of this wine. It was a great choice - a delicious choice in fact. I can highly recommend you give it a try. You certainly won't be disappointed!

David Huxham - May 2020

"A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for this Cru Bourgeois. I tasted the 2010 just last year (91-points) and though this has some time to go, it already appears to be an even better effort. There's an absolutely classic fragrance of cedar and pencil-shavings over savoury black fruits, touched with leafiness, game and subtle spices. In the mouth it is medium-bodied and beautifully pitched between that savoury, complex character of tobacco and leather, and a fresher fruit quality. Keen acidity gives excellent balance. Classic all the way, and surely has years of further cellaring potential. "

Tom Cannavan, Wine-pages.com (previous vintage)

"Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Ramafort has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and light cocoa scents, nicely defined with a light iodine scent coming through. The palate is medium bodied with supple and fine tannins, a pinch of spice and a harmonious, satisfying finish that beckons you back for another sip. Simply the best wine I have tasted from Ramafort thus far... "

Neal Martin, robertparker.com (previous vintage)

"Well-formed, generous, opulent fruit. Excellent oak spice on the palate with attractive burnt meat notes on the length. Has everything you could want from 2015 Bordeaux - clarity, balance, length, ripeness. "
