FEATURES
The 2022 Ramonet Montrachet Grand Cru hails from Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet, widely regarded as a pinnacle of Burgundy white wine production. Montrachet is considered the greatest terroir for Chardonnay globally, with Ramonet's legendary 0.26-hectare parcel, acquired in 1978, producing one of the most sought-after and rare Chardonnays in the world. The vineyard's unique terroir, characterized by calcareous soils with reddish-brown marl and a perfect east-to-southeast exposure, creates ideal conditions for Chardonnay to express its noblest characteristics. The 2022 vintage is increasingly viewed as one of the strongest recent vintages for white Burgundy, despite early season frost challenges. Winemaking involves delicate pressing, barrel fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging in French oak barrels for 18-24 months with minimal intervention, preserving the pure expression of this legendary terroir.
Tasting notes for the 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru describe an impressively layered bouquet of white flowers, citrus zest, and wet limestone, complemented by refined aromas of acacia honey, roasted hazelnuts, brioche, and subtle spices. On the palate, it immediately displays monumental class, with impressive concentration yet an almost weightless elegance. Ripe citrus, white peach, stone fruit, and refined wood notes are supported by exceptional mineral tension, keeping the wine fresh and lively. It is still very closed and youthful, showing marvelous energy, power, and a very concentrated nose, with a full-bodied, rich, and almost solid palate that promises real depth and dimension. The finish is seemingly endless, evolving over minutes with waves of fruit, mineral, and spice complexity, with years of cellaring revealing additional layers of truffle, dried fruits, and exotic spices.
🍴 This Grand Cru is a perfect accompaniment to luxurious dishes such as Lobster Thermidor, turbot with truffle sauce, caviar, foie gras, langoustine, scallops, and aged Comté cheese. It also pairs well with chicken and turkey.
