Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes – Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru – White – 2016:

 

The Pinnacle of White Burgundy: Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes

Domaine Ramonet’s Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes Blanc is a highly collectible, benchmark Premier Cru from the Côte de Beaune. This is not merely a Chardonnay; it is a profound testament to the Les Ruchottes terroir, marrying Burgundian richness with the crystalline minerality that defines the world’s greatest white wines.

Tasting Notes & Provenance

• Nose: An explosive and complex bouquet of ripe yellow fruit (peach, apricot), seamlessly integrated with notes of toasted hazelnut, fresh butter, and a hint of acacia honey from its careful oak aging.
• Palate: Powerful yet impeccably balanced, offering a rich, enveloping texture. A vibrant, linear acidity drives the wine through a phenomenal, saline-laced finish, signaling its immense aging potential.
• The Terroir: The ‘Les Ruchottes’ climat is celebrated for its shallow, limestone-rich soils, which impart the signature tension and purity to the wine.

Pairing & Service

This Premier Cru demands equally refined cuisine. Serve between 54-57°F (12-14°C), ideally after a brief decant to allow its complex aromatics to open up.

• Suggested Pairings: Butter-poached Lobster, Seared Scallops, or Truffle-stuffed Roast Chicken.
