An ultra-exclusive offering from one of Burgundy's most legendary estates, this assortment case unites two of the absolute pinnacles of Chardonnay: Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Crus. Domaine Ramonet's holdings in these historic climats are treated with mythical reverence. Montrachet, situated on the mid-slope with perfect drainage and limestone-rich soils, yields a wine of unparalleled power, opulence, and majestic complexity. Just above it, Chevalier-Montrachet sits on thinner, stonier soils, producing a wine of ethereal elegance, intense mineral drive, and crystalline precision. Historically, Thomas Jefferson singled out these slopes as producing the finest white wines in the world. Ramonet vinifies these treasures with traditional methods, utilizing native yeasts and aging in oak barrels to create white Burgundies of monumental structure, depth, and legendary 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.
