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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in the late 1920s by Pierre Ramonet, Domaine Ramonet (now widely known under Jean-Claude Ramonet) is one of the most legendary estates in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, located in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. Today, the estate is celebrated for its exceptional holdings across some of the world's finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir terroirs, including the iconic Grand Crus of Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. Utilizing traditional winemaking techniques, low yields, and meticulous oak aging, the domaine produces whites of extraordinary depth, minerality, and longevity, alongside elegant, structured reds such as the Clos de la Boudriotte. This commitment to expressing the pure essence of Chassagne-Montrachet's diverse climats has secured Ramonet's status as a benchmark producer of fine Burgundy.
