✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established officially in 1930 by patriarch Pierre Ramonet, Domaine Ramonet stands as one of the Côte de Beaune's most revered viticultural benchmark estates. Beginning from humble parcels in Les Grandes Ruchottes purchased in 1934, the domaine expanded its historical holdings across iconic Jurassic limestone and clay marl terroirs in Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, famously acquiring a prized sliver of Grand Cru Le Montrachet in 1978. Now steered by third-generation vigneron Jean-Claude Ramonet alongside his family, the estate cultivates approximately 17 hectares under sustainable, lutte raisonnée practices with rigorous yield limitation and soil plowing. In the cellar, low-intervention vinification emphasizes gentle pneumatic pressing, native yeast fermentation with minimal racking, and measured oak maturation. Renowned for Chardonnays of astonishing concentration, signature spearmint freshness, and profound mineral tension, Ramonet's benchmark portfolio spans Premier Crus like Clos du Cailleret and Ruchottes, legendary Grand Crus Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet, as well as deeply expressive Pinot Noirs such as Clos de la Boudriotte.
