Domaine Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes 2022
Domaine Ramonet has a special connection with the 1er Cru Les Ruchottes. This is because, in 1934, this wine was the first estate-bottled white Burgundy to be imported into the USA by the American wine legend Frank M. Schoonmaker. This has forged a very close bond between the family and the vineyard to this day. Les Ruchottes lies above Morgeot; it is stony, with limestone-rich soil. The 2022 "Les Ruchottes' also demonstrates the class of this climat. Despite its richness, the wine retains its freshness, presenting itself as elegant, balanced and highly precise: the bouquet is Burgundian in its complexity (citrus, apple, pear, hazelnut, brioche, flint), whilst the palate offers power and richness, balanced acidity and chalky minerality. Chassagne-Montrachet at its very best.
