Undoubtedly one of the finest producers of Burgundy, Ramonet's bottles are highly coveted and incredibly age-worthy. Consistently a source of top Bourgogne- and Village-level wines, their Grand Crus are among the greatest wines of any vintage.

Jean-Claude Ramonet

Begun by Pierre Ramonet in the 1920s, today the estate is run by Jean-Claude, who has taken the Ramonet name to an absolute Apex. Pierre, however, had a premonition and had saved his earnings to purchase the plot of the most famous white vineyard in the world, that of Montrachet, and in 1978 Ramonet's top wine was produced for the very first time.

Pierre's son Andre ran the estate until his passing in 2011, at which point Jean-Claude and his brother Noel took over, having been active in the production for several decades at that point. With the newest chapter comes an expanded palate of vineyards, some under JC's own name, but all uncompromising in their search for elegance and quality.

In the winery, the wines are delicately pressed, and with the exception of the Grand Crus see very little new oak. It is the purity here that is most captivating, a pristine minerality and distinctive character that many mimic but few achieve.

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes doesn't attain the same heights as the 2014 rendition, but it has handled the warmth of the vintage very well and remains quite classic in profile, with a very typical bouquet of pear, iodine, wheat toast, buttered apples and a framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and full-bodied, with excellent amplitude and dimension, and a greater sense of reserve than any of the other 1er Crus in the cellar this year.

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes 1er Cru has a seductive bouquet of almond, hazelnut, vanilla pod and white tea aromas, building beautifully in the glass over 45 minutes. The palate is, again, very seductive, with impressive depth. There is more creaminess in terms of texture than some purists would like, although it does possess the acidity to back it up. Delivering wonderful depth, great length, and touches of guava and a hint of praline toward the finish, this is a delicious Chassagne-Montrachet that is going to be difficult to resist. Tasted at "Chablis Wine Not?" in Chablis.
