Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet Description
Domaine Ramonet is undoubtedly regarded amongst the top producers of white wines in the Côte de Beaune, from their superb Chassagne-Montrachet Villages and Premiers Crus to masterpiece Grands Crus. Although the estate is best known for its whites, it also produces distinctive and remarkable reds.
Located in Burgundy, a winegrowing region where terroir and sense of place are typically more important than individual winemakers, Ramonet is in a class of its own. In fact, Ramonet Montrachet, the estate’s flagship wine, is claimed by many to be unequalled. What is perhaps even more impressive is the story of the Ramonet family and how they created this world-class winery.
Pierre Ramonet arrived in Burgundy in the late 1920s with his worldly possessions in a knapsack and started to earn money by buying and vinifying grapes. Land value was very low during these difficult times, with the double effects of the depression and the American prohibition. Through his hard work, Pierre started to accumulate vineyard plots surrounding the village of Chassagne-Montrachet with his first purchase within the great Ruchottes vineyard (also known as Grandes Ruchottes) in 1934. It was with this parcel of land and this vintage that Père Ramonet made his name.
Tasting Note: Sweet aromas of fresh, red berries, pepper and earth. Inviting flavors of juicy fruit and spice. Vibrant with great depth, balance and a lingering finish.
Burghound: 88 Points
This too is lightly hued. A slightly more deeply pitched nose reveals peppery nuances on the red and dark cherry, earth and spice scents. There is a bit more weight and volume to the barely medium weight flavors that are both utterly delicious and vibrant, all wrapped in a lightly rustic and firmer finish. This is really quite pleasant and a wine that should repay 3 to 5 years of keeping though one that could also be enjoyed upon release.
