FEATURES
Domaine Ramonet's 2021 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru "Les Murgers des Dents de Chien" is a highly anticipated white Burgundy from a revered producer. This particular vineyard, located just around the corner from Le Montrachet, is known for its distinctive pebble-limestone soils and south to southeasterly exposure, creating ideal conditions for vibrant freshness and excellent minerality. Ramonet is widely considered among the best producers in Chassagne-Montrachet, a remarkable feat for a three-generation-old family domaine. The 2021 vintage is expected to showcase the exceptional potential of this Premier Cru, with wines that can rival Ramonet's more famous Chassagne-Montrachet holdings in quality and complexity.
