RAMONET
Ramonet to Chardonnay is the equivalent of Domaine de la Romanée- Conti or Henri Jayer to Pinot Noir: a legendary and timeless partnership. The domaine was established by the reclusive genius, Pierre Ramonet, in 1920, though the continued success is due to the teamwork of brothers Nol in the cellar and Jean-Claude in the vineyards.
Fruit from vines younger than 18 years are declassified and yields are greatly restricted. Grape bunches are partially de-stemmed, briefly cold soaked in cement tanks and macerated for 10 days. The juice is generally aged in one third new barrels, in either Alliers or Vosges oak, depending on the vineyard's needs, for 12-15 months. Le Montrachet, the brightest star in the Ramonet sky, is aged in 100 new oak barrels. Ramonet wines are muscular, full-bodied and concentrated wines, capable of lasting decades.
