【A Premier Cru Masterpiece from Chassagne, Polished by a Renowned Estate】

This premier cru masterpiece is crafted by Ramonet, a prestigious estate representing Chassagne, from the highly acclaimed vineyard Les Caillerets. As its name (caillou = pebble) suggests, the Chardonnay grown in this soil rich in limestone and pebbles offers vibrant aromas of white peach, citrus, and white flowers, layered with concentrated minerality reminiscent of hazelnut and flint. It presents a magnificent balance woven from a crisp, extending acidity, dense and full-bodied fruit, and a long, saline finish. Ramonet's pure and profound flavors, a testament to their unwavering commitment to tradition, quietly demonstrate the true potential of Chassagne's finest Premier Cru vineyards. This is a wine that can be enjoyed both now and after extended aging.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
The wine boasts a brilliant golden hue, with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, roasted hazelnuts, and delicate minerality.
On the palate, it is both concentrated and refined, with ripe yellow fruits, vibrant acidity, and a subtle smoky nuance, creating a magnificent balance.
A long finish underscores its high quality. 2020 was an outstanding vintage for Ramonet, offering rich concentration and density, and Ramonet's signature spearmint-like freshness that binds everything together.
This is a first-class masterpiece that can be enjoyed now and for many years to come, harmonizing the salty minerality from the limestone and pebble soils with dense, rich fruit.

Pairing
Grilled lobster and tiger prawns
Pan-seared flounder or sea bass with white wine sauce
Creamed chicken breast or guinea fowl

Technical Data

Producer: Founded in the 1930s. A prestigious Chassagne estate run by Pierre Ramonet's grandsons, brothers Noel and Jean-Claude Ramonet.
Vineyard: "Les Caillerets," a renowned Premier Cru vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet. As the vineyard name suggests (caillou = pebble), the soil contains a high proportion of limestone and pebbles.
Vine Age and Yield: The average vine age is approximately 60 years, and the yield per hectare is extremely low.
Viticultural Philosophy: They believe that healthy soil, mature old vines, and low yields are the keys to high quality, and in recent years, they have focused even more on vineyard work.
Aging: Aged for 12 to 15 months in a mix of new and used barrels (generally 30% new oak), depending on the quality. It is aged for a long period on its lees, with light filtration and very restrained bâtonnage.
Winemaking Philosophy: Aged primarily in neutral French oak barrels, resulting in a reductive, flinty, and powerful style.
