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.

(Ramonet is aging this wine and his Clos du Cailleret in 30% new oak, but uses 25% for the rest of his premier crus – and 50% for the grand crus): Bright, light yellow. Distinctly more yellow on the nose than the Morgeot, with its peach and toasty oak aromas lifted by a floral note. Fat, broad and rich but with lovely balancing acidity giving energy and force to the middle palate. Attractive balance here, and very long on the aftertaste.
