2022 Jean-Claude Ramonet Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères

Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet are the third generation to manage the magnificent Ramonet winery, tasked with maintaining its splendidly built reputation. It is said that grandfather Pierre arrived in Burgundy in the late 1920s with nothing more than his knapsack. After years of purchasing grapes and making wine from them, he was gradually able to buy vineyards in his chosen village of Chassagne. The ultimate highlight was the purchase of a plot in Le Montrachet in 1978—and paid for in cash, too!

Today they own 17 hectares. In the Chassagne, they possess the very beautiful Premier Crus Ruchottes, Morgeots, Caillerets, Clos-de-la-Boudriotte, Clos-Saint-Jean, Chaumées, and Vergers, as well as Bâtard and Bienvenues. Recently, Ramonet has been able to expand into Saint-Aubin (Les Charmois) and Puligny-Montrachet (Champ-Canet and some very beautiful villages). 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). Long aging on the lees, light filtration, and only occasional bâtonnage. Like their grandfather, the Ramonet brothers have remained true winegrowers, yet the distribution of their wines is a global battle. In theory, Noël is responsible for the wine cellars and Jean Claude for the vineyards.

'Les Enseignères' is a specific vineyard (lieu-dit) within the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, known for producing wines with a concentrated and complex fruit character, a mineral expression thanks to the calcareous soils, and a creamy, elegant texture. The wine has aromas of citrus, green pear, and apple, with subtle hints of oak. On the palate, rich flavors of apple and pear, blended with lemony freshness, supported by a mineral undertone typical of the vineyard's calcareous soils. The finish is creamy with an elegant mouthfeel and balanced acidity, resulting in a harmonious and refreshing aftertaste.
