RAMONET J-C

Almost 100 years ago, Pierre Ramonet founded an estate in Chassagne-Montrachet, one of Burgundy 's finest winegrowing regions. Today, Domaine Jean Claude Ramonet is run by his grandson Jean-Claude, recently joined by his two daughters, Anne-France and Clarisse. A visionary, Pierre Ramonet was quick to export his wines across the Atlantic. Soil cultivation that respects the different terroirs and a "lutte raisonnée" approach have contributed greatly to the reputation of the estate's wines. The white Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte is one of 12 white Burgundy wines classified as Premier Cru produced by the estate. Premier Cru red wines include Chassagne Montrachet Les Morgeots.
