✨ Technical Specifications
Jean-Claude Ramonet's Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Clos de la Boudriotte' Rouge is a legendary expression of red Burgundy from an appellation primarily famous today for its whites. Clos de la Boudriotte is a historic monopole vineyard of Domaine Ramonet, nestled within the larger Morgeot climat. The terroir here features heavy clay-limestone soils with a high proportion of iron-rich red clay, which is exceptionally well-suited to Pinot Noir. Ramonet's traditional winemaking approach—utilizing old vines, meticulous sorting, partial destemming, and careful aging in French oak—yields a red wine of remarkable structure, rustic elegance, and deep earthy complexity. Historically, Chassagne-Montrachet produced far more red wine than white, and Ramonet's Clos de la Boudriotte stands as a proud monument to this heritage, proving that the village's Pinot Noir can rival the Côte de Nuits in depth and longevity.
