Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet Rouge Clos St. Jean 2017
The Winery
Domaine Ramonet
Domaine Ramonet is a prominent wine producer in the Burgundy appellations of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The estate's most important wines are made from Chardonnay from the area's grand cru vineyards, and are highly collectible, often selling for high prices at auction. Domaine Ramonet makes several red wines from Pinot Noir as well. Pierre Ramonet began buying land on the Montrachet hill in the 1930s and, by the 1950s, owned land in several premier and grand cru vineyards. In the 1970s, he acquired a piece of the famed Le Montrachet site, and now Ramonet owns more than 15 hectares (37 acres) of vineyards, making wines ranging from village-level to grand and premier cru.
Summary
The Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet Rouge Clos St. Jean 2017 is a distinguished Pinot Noir from a historic vineyard in Burgundy, situated on thin limestone-marl soil ideal for this varietal. This wine showcases a deeper aromatic profile with notes of wild plums, raspberries, rose hips, and hints of licorice and orange zest. On the palate, it presents medium to full-bodied characteristics, offering a supple texture and a sweet core of fruit, complemented by melting tannins. Produced in limited quantities, this wine reflects the often-overlooked red traditions of Chassagne, with careful élevage in French oak that ensures elegance without overpowering new wood influences.
