Terroir of Clos de la Boudriotte

The Clos de la Boudriotte climat lies south of Chassagne-Montrachet and features deep clay-limestone soils that give wines elegance, depth, and complexity. Pinot Noir thrives here, achieving a perfect equilibrium between aromatic richness and lively acidity. Domaine Ramonet manages this historic vineyard meticulously, protecting the biodiversity of the soil and ensuring each vintage reflects the terroir’s unique character.

Vineyard philosophy and harvest

Ramonet follows sustainable viticulture practices, respecting natural grape ripening and keeping yields low to concentrate flavors. The harvest is entirely manual, with rigorous selection of the best bunches to ensure purity and aromatic consistency. This artisanal approach guarantees that every grape reflects both the terroir and the climatic conditions of the year.

Winemaking and aging

In the cellar, the Boudriotte Rouge 2022 undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without any additives. Aging is done in French oak barrels, balancing new and used wood to enhance complexity without overshadowing finesse. Extended lees contact enriches the body, softens tannins, and amplifies the fruit and spice notes typical of Pinot Noir. Bottling is minimally invasive to preserve authenticity. Contains sulphites.

Domaine Ramonet

The history of Domaine Ramonet in Burgundy

Domaine Ramonet was founded in the 1930s by Pierre Ramonet, a visionary winemaker who purchased his first vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet. From those initial parcels began one of the most emblematic journeys of the Côte de Beaune, destined to mark the history of Burgundy. In 1978, the acquisition of a plot in Le Montrachet definitively established the estate among the greatest, making the Ramonet name synonymous with prestige. Today, Pierre’s grandsons, Jean-Claude and Noël, continue to cultivate this legacy with the same passion and respect for tradition, ensuring that the domaine remains a symbol of authenticity and terroir.

Vineyards and prestigious crus of Domaine Ramonet

The domaine extends over 17 hectares, spread across the most renowned villages of Burgundy, including Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. Its heart lies in legendary Grand Cru vineyards such as Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet, alongside a wealth of Premier Cru sites like Les Ruchottes and Les Vergers. This mosaic of terroirs allows Domaine Ramonet to produce wines of exceptional complexity and precision, where every parcel contributes to an extraordinary expression of the Côte de Beaune.

Winemaking philosophy and cellar approach

At Domaine Ramonet, the philosophy is based on low yields, meticulous vineyard work and a deep respect for the natural environment. Manual harvesting ensures only the best grapes reach the cellar. Fermentation relies on native yeasts, while oak ageing is managed with balance, never overwhelming the purity of the fruit. White wines rest for long periods on fine lees, gaining depth and longevity, while reds are vinified with equal care to showcase the finesse of Chassagne-Montrachet. This artisanal yet precise approach reflects a constant search for harmony and terroir-driven character.

The reds, often overlooked, reveal elegance and depth that reflect the same high standards. Each bottle signed Ramonet embodies the perfect balance between tradition, terroir and winemaking mastery, making the domaine a true reference point for Burgundy lovers and collectors.
