About the Wine:
Renowned winemaker Pierre Ramonet established Domaine Ramonet in the 1930s in the Cote de Beaune region of Burgundy. Over the past 70 years, the iconic winery has expanded to include 15 hectares of prized Chardonnay and has been passed down to Pierre's two grandsons, Noel and Jean-Claude, who run the winery today. The exceptional quality and small production of Domaine Ramonet makes these wines sought after by wine connoisseurs the world over.
Pierre Ramonet had a peasant background and became a legend by creating one of the finest domaines in Burgundy through sheer hard work and a genius for wine. The wines of Ramonet are in a class of their own, Jean-Claude and Noël are the third generation producers of the domaine known for producing wines of overall consistency and excellence. The Chardonnays of Ramonet are among the most age-worthy of the Côte de Beaune and their Montrachet is unheralded. The wines of Ramonet show concentrated, complex fruit character with mineral expression from limestone soils, and a creamy, elegant texture. Selected from several vineyards across Chassagne totalling 4.6 acres.

Ratings & Reviews
92+ Points - Wine Advocate:
“Notes of peonies, rose petals, raspberries, orange oil and spices introduce the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Boudriotte, a medium to full-bodied, pretty and perfumed wine that's seamless and elegant, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. It's well worth seeking out.” – William Kelley (Jan 2022)
92 Points - Wine Spectator:
Opulent, this red features cherry, blackberry, spices and a flash of iron, with plush texture and solid structure. Revealing excellent balance, this fades gracefully with the fruit, mineral and spice notes. Drink now through 2032.
