Tasting Notes
he Domaine Ramonet Monthélie 1er Cru opens with aromas of cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, accented by rose petals and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with crunchy red fruits, earthy minerality, and refreshing acidity that give it lift and precision. Fine tannins provide structure without heaviness, while hints of licorice and pepper add savory depth. The finish is long, balanced, and elegant.
About Winery
Domaine Ramonet was founded in Chassagne-Montrachet in the late 1920s by Pierre Ramonet, who quickly gained recognition for his wines, notably after acquiring the Premier Cru Les Ruchottes vineyard in 1934. His reputation grew internationally, with Ramonet becoming one of the first Burgundy estates to export estate-bottled wines to the United States after Prohibition. Over the decades, the domaine expanded holdings to include prestigious Grand Cru sites such as Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. Today, the estate is run by Jean-Claude Ramonet and his daughters Anne-France and Clarisse, who continue the family’s tradition of meticulous vineyard management, low yields, and terroir-driven winemaking. Domaine Ramonet is best known for its legendary white wines, but its reds, including Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, are increasingly recognized for their finesse and quality
