Domaine Jean Claude Ramonet - Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets 2022
The Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet is an undisputed reference of Chassagne-Montrachet, a symbol of precision and longevity in Burgundy. Located in the heart of the village, the family estate is now run by Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet, who perpetuate a style of great rigor, based on the most accurate reading of the terroirs. The Les Caillerets vineyard, classified as Premier Cru, is one of the most prestigious in the appellation, situated on the upper part of the slope, on very stony and limestone soils, particularly poor and well-drained. This high-altitude terroir benefits from an ideal exposure, promoting a slow and complete ripening of Chardonnay. It gives rise to wines renowned for their finesse, tension, and great aging potential. The 2022 vintage fully embodies this tradition of excellence.
The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets 2022 reveals an aromatic profile of great purity, marked by notes of ripe lemon, fresh apple, and white flowers, supported by a very clear chalky minerality. Upon aeration, hints of wet stone and a slight nuance of fresh almond appear. The palate is straight, chiselled, and elegant, driven by a fine acidity that stretches the wine with remarkable precision. The texture is silky, almost airy, while maintaining notable depth. The aging, perfectly controlled, accompanies the material discreetly, never masking the terroir's clarity. The whole offers a masterful balance between tension, finesse, and complexity.
The 2022 vintage highlights the refined character and great aging potential of this exceptional Premier Cru. At the table, Les Caillerets ideally accompanies noble fish, refined crustaceans, or gastronomic dishes with delicate textures. Its length and verticality make it a great table wine, but also a tasting wine for discerning lovers of great white Burgundies. This Chassagne-Montrachet embodies a sleek and mineral vision of the appellation, faithful to the signature of Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet. A cuvée of rare elegance, deep and timeless.
