Tasting notes

Appearance
In its youth, this wine reveals a beautiful golden hue adorned with green highlights.

Nose
The aromatic bouquet elegantly blends scents of white flowers and white and yellow-fleshed fruits, such as peach, pear and apple. Subtle notes of butter, smoke and brioche, inherited from its ageing, further enrich the whole.

Palate
The palate stands out with a round texture and beautiful breadth, characteristic of its terroir. This richness is perfectly balanced by a noble acidity, leading to a finish of remarkable mineral persistence.

Food and wine pairings

This great white gastronomic wine enhances noble fish such as turbot or sole meunière, as well as shellfish like roasted lobster or langoustine. It also pairs wonderfully with poultry in a cream and mushroom sauce, or with aged cooked pressed cheeses such as Comté.

Crafted for long evolution, this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Morgeot" 2022 is a cellaring wine that can rest in the cellar for approximately ten years to unveil the full breadth of its aromatic palette.

The estate

Officially founded in 1930 by Pierre Ramonet, Domaine Ramonet is a true institution in France, located in the heart of Burgundy. Today, the estate spans nearly 19.75 hectares and is run by brothers Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet, the latter overseeing the vinifications. Renowned worldwide for the excellence of its white wines, the family perpetuates a know-how combining tradition and precision, with a stringent selection of grapes and tightly controlled yields to express the very essence of its prestigious terroirs.

The vineyard

This wine comes from a 1.22-hectare plot located in the historic Morgeot climat, south of the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. This renowned terroir rests on deep soils of brown clays and limestone, mixed with marls and gravels. Here, the estate practices demanding viticulture with high planting density, a predominant massale selection and entirely manual harvesting. Only grapes from vines over 18 years old are kept to craft this cuvée.

Vinification and ageing

After careful sorting, the grapes of the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Morgeot" 2022 undergo a very gentle whole-cluster pressing. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts under controlled temperatures, over an extended period of three to six weeks. The wine then benefits from ageing on fine lees for 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, with a proportion of new wood of around one third.

Grape variety

100% Chardonnay.
