2019 Domaine Ramonet Les Ruchottes Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru

About the Wine

"Considered one of the masters of white wine in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Ramonet is among Burgundy's most revered and mysterious producers." ~Decanter

Step into the world of Burgundy's legendary cult winery, Domaine Ramonet, where tradition, terroir, and taste converge to create unparalleled wines.

Rooted in the heart of Burgundy, Domaine Ramonet stands as a beacon of winemaking excellence. From the visionary Pierre Ramonet, who carved his path in the 1920s, to the present-day stewardship of grandsons Noël and Jean-Claude, each bottle carries the legacy of generations past. Their commitment to the land and the craft has elevated Ramonet to iconic status in the world of wine.

Nestled North of the village of Chassagne-Montrachet lies the prestigious Les Vergers vineyard. With its East-facing orientation and limestone-rich soil, this hallowed ground yields grapes of unparalleled quality. Here, amidst 40 rows of vines planted in 1944, the magic of Domaine Ramonet unfolds.

Domaine Ramonet, one of the first Burgundy Domaines to bottle and export to the USA in 1935, continues its tradition of excellence under the third-generation offering 22 appellations, including Premiers Crus and Grands Crus, Domaine Ramonet remains a benchmark of quality and distinction in the world of wine.

Ramonet's Ruchottes vineyard is a rare find in Burgundy, with only a select few producers having access to its prized grapes. Situated east of the renowned "La Grande Montagne," its name comes from the rocky debris, or "Ruchottes," that has gathered over time from the nearby hillside. This vineyard, acquired by the domaine in 1930, boasts some of Ramonet's oldest vines, carefully replanted to maintain its exceptional quality. The result is a wine of luxurious richness, with a velvety texture and an enticingly perfumed character.

2019 was an incredible year for Burgundy, this is a vintage to stock up on, a vintage to collect, and a vintage to enjoy. It was awarded a 98-point review and called a "hedonistic" vintage, and stated to be "perhaps rival 1865, the greatest vintage of all."

Tasting Notes

100% Chardonnay. A concentration and abundance of dry extract that has few peers in white Burgundy. Mouthcoating appeal, generous oak is intertwined with notes of caramel and Indian spices, embedded in a fine texture and rich body. Vines were replanted in 1972.

Critical Reviews

Muscular and powerful, the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes wafts from the glass with notes of pear, orange oil, peach, nutmeg and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated, it's a rich, broad-shouldered Ruchottes that's quite demonstrative out of the gates. ~92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
