The 2024 Noël Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes 1er Cru hails from the newly established Domaine Noël Ramonet & Fils, founded in 2023 by Noël Ramonet and his sons. This new venture continues the Ramonet family's legacy, focusing on prestigious white terroirs in the Côte de Beaune. The 2024 vintage in Burgundy was challenging, with a wet and cool winter and spring followed by frost, leading to a significantly reduced production (30-35% less than 2023). Consequently, this white Burgundy is expected to be tightly allocated and quickly absorbed by the market. It is already available for purchase in some markets. Early tasting notes for the 2024 vintage describe a wine with laser-like precision and minerality, featuring notes of citrus zest, lemon oil, sweet spices, wet stone minerals, and white flowers. It presents a medium-full body, yet with a slightly more slender profile attributed to the vintage, supported by excellent persistence and superb high acidity that contributes to its precision and length. Some initial impressions also highlight citrus, lemon, and mineral characteristics with a light palate and good acidity. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions for this style of Chardonnay include refined seafood like butter-poached lobster, Dover sole, roasted monkfish, and seared scallops. Creamy poultry dishes, veal medallions, lobster risotto, and aged Alpine cheeses such as Comté, Beaufort, and Gruyère would also be excellent choices. Simple chicken and turkey dishes are also suitable. 🥂 As a highly anticipated and tightly allocated new release, this wine is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts eager to experience the latest from this esteemed family. It's an excellent choice for special celebrations, fine dining, or as an investment for cellaring, showcasing the vibrant and mineral-driven expression of Burgundy's terroir. 【A highly anticipated release from the newly established Domaine Noël Ramonet & Fils, known for its energy, finesse, and mineral-driven style, with limited production in 2024.】
