Why we follow Domaine Ramonet
The estate
Pierre Ramonet arrived in Chassagne-Montrachet in the late 1920s with, as the family tells it, little more than a knapsack. He bought Les Ruchottes in 1934. In 1978 he bought a quarter hectare of Le Montrachet, and the estate's standing was settled. The third generation runs it now: brothers Noël Ramonet in the vines and Jean-Claude Ramonet in the cellar and the office, supported since 2014 by Jean-Claude's daughters Anne-France and Clarisse. The labels have carried Jean-Claude's name since 2013.
The vineyards
Seventeen hectares across Chassagne, Puligny, Saint-Aubin, Bouzeron and Pernand-Vergelesses, running roughly seventy per cent white to thirty per cent red. The grand crus are Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and a small parcel of Chevalier-Montrachet. Seven Chassagne premier crus sit below them, including Les Ruchottes, Morgeot, Caillerets, Clos de la Boudriotte, Clos St-Jean, Chaumées and Vergers.
In the glass
Traditional Chassagne winemaking, barrel-aged with restrained new oak, aiming at purity and longevity rather than immediate impact. Ramonet whites are idiosyncratic in youth and profound with age. Two things are often overlooked. The Chassagne premier crus, Ruchottes and Caillerets especially, carry a good deal of grand cru allure for considerably less money. And the reds, from Clos de la Boudriotte and Clos St-Jean, are serious wines that sommeliers know about and most collectors do not.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
