Domaine Ramonet - Bouzeron, Bourgogne, France (2022)

TASTING NOTES

One of the most deservedly sought-after domaines in Burgundy - and highly allocated in Toronto. Spicy aromas with noted minerality, this is a wine of both purity, a fleshy body with vibrant energy. Apple, lemon and chalky.

One of the most renowned estates in prestigious Chassagne-Montrachet. Ramonet's white wines are legendary.

Pierre Ramonet arrived in Burgundy in the late 1920s. The land value was very low, so hardworking Pierre was able to accumulate vineyard plots surrounding the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, with his first purchase within the great Ruchottes vineyard in 1934. Pierre eventually handed over the reins to his son André, who passed in 2011, and subsequently to his grandchildren, Noël and Jean-Claude, who had tended the family vineyards since 1984. The Domaine produces 24 appellation wines from 40 acres.

This aligoté hails from Bouzeron, where it thrives in the Côtes Chalonnaise's granitic soils.
