Description
About Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet
Located in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet is one of Burgundy's most respected producers. While the estate is best known for its legendary white wines, it also produces reds of remarkable finesse and balance. Jean-Claude Ramonet, who leads the family estate, works with an unwavering focus on terroir, low yields, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Ramonet's wines are known for their purity, precision, and unparalleled balance of fruit, structure, and freshness.
Ramonet's vineyards are primarily located in and around Chassagne-Montrachet, with soils rich in limestone and clay. This combination produces wines with elegance, minerality, and fine tension. The estate's entry-level wines also display the same signature refinement that has made its grands crus so famous.
The Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2020
The 2020 Bourgogne Pinot Noir comes from vineyards in the southern Côte de Beaune, around Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, the wine clearly shows Jean-Claude Ramonet's signature: delicate, precise, and focused on freshness and elegance rather than power. The grapes were hand-harvested and rigorously selected to retain only perfectly ripe bunches. After gentle destemming and low-temperature fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak barrels, a small percentage of which were new to give the wine additional structure without dominating the fruit.
The 2020 vintage was exceptionally favorable in Burgundy. A warm and dry growing season produced healthy grapes with an excellent balance of ripeness and freshness. The result is a Burgundy Pinot Noir with intense red fruit, fine tannins, and an elegant tension typical of the Côte de Beaune terroir.
Color, smell and taste
In the glass, the wine displays a bright ruby red color with a vibrant sparkle. The nose is refined and complex, with aromas of cherries, raspberries, violets, and a subtle hint of herbs and forest floor. Swirling reveals notes of rose petals and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is supple, with silky tannins and a refined structure. The red fruit is ripe and pure, supported by a lively acidity that keeps the wine elegant and light. The finish is long and balanced, with a pleasant spiciness and a mineral undertone.
This wine is already drinking beautifully, but will continue to develop over the next five to eight years. The balance of fruit, acidity, and structure makes it versatile at the table and ideal for those seeking a refined, accessible red Burgundy from a top estate.

ABOUT JEAN-CLAUDE RAMONET
Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet are the third generation to manage the magnificent Ramonet estate, tasked with maintaining its magnificently built reputation. It's said that grandfather Pierre arrived in Burgundy in the late 1920s with nothing more than his knapsack. After years of buying grapes and making wine from them, he was gradually able to acquire vineyard plots in his chosen village of Chassagne. The ultimate highlight was the purchase of a plot of Le Montrachet in 1978, paid for in cash!
Today, they own 17 hectares. In the Chassagne region, they grow the very beautiful premiers crus Ruchottes, Morgeots, Caillerets, Clos-de-la-Boudriotte, Clos-Saint-Jean, Chaumées, and Vergers, as well as Bâtard and Bienvenues. Ramonet has recently expanded into the Saint-Aubin (Les Charmois) and Puligny-Montrachet (Champ-Canet and a very beautiful village). The average age of the vines is 60 years, and yields per hectare are particularly low. Depending on the quality, the wines are aged for between 12 and 15 months in a mix of new and used oak barrels (generally 30% new oak). They are aged for a long time on the lees, with light filtration and only occasional batonnage. The Ramonet brothers, like their grandfather, have remained true winemakers, but the distribution of their wines is a worldwide battle. In theory, Noël is responsible for the wine cellars and Jean Claude for the vineyards.

Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet are the third generation to manage the grand winery of Ramonet, with the mission of maintaining its wonderfully built reputation. Grandfather Pierre is said to have arrived in Burgundy in the late 1920s with nothing more than his knapsack. After years of buying grapes and making wine from them, he was gradually able to buy vineyards in his chosen village of Chassagne. The ultimate highlight in 1978 was the purchase of a plot of land from Le Montrachet, and paid in cash too!
Pierre Ramonet died in 1994 at the age of 88. But its echo lives in the wines, in the capable hands of his grandsons Noël and Jean-Claude who have continued its reputation since 1984 (under the strict command of the grandfather). The original Ramonets came from Bresse on the other side of the Saône from Chalon. In the 19th century, a branch settled in Beaune, where they were millers. The mill went bankrupt and one of them, Claude, moved to Chassagne, where he became a Tacheron, a vineyard worker who is paid by the amount of land he farms. Claude had three children; a daughter who married Georges Bachelet (hence the current domain Bachelet-Ramonet) and two sons, Pierre, born in 1906 and Claude (1914). Pierre married Lucie Prudhon (for a time the wine was sold as Domaine Ramonet-Prudhon). They had only one son, André (1934), father of Noël and Jean-Claude.
Today they own 17 hectares. In the Chassagne the very beautiful premiers crus Ruchottes, Morgeots, Caillerets, Clos-de-la-Boudriotte, Clos-Saint-Jean, Chaumées and Vergers, but also Bâtard and Bienvenues.
