Domaine Ramonet : Bourgogne Rouge 2022

Characteristics and tasting notes for the Bourgogne Rouge 2022 from Domaine Ramonet

Tasting

Colour
The wine displays a beautiful ruby hue of good intensity.

Nose
Fresh and enticing, the nose exudes aromas of red fruits such as cherry, raspberry and strawberry, enhanced by delicate touches of violet, sweet spices and earthy nuances.

Palate
Showing lovely concentration, the palate offers remarkable balance. It unfolds vibrant red fruit flavours supported by exceptionally fine tannins and lively acidity, stretching into a clean, persistent finish.

Food and wine pairing

This red wine pairs perfectly with roast or grilled white meats, as well as poultry such as chicken and duck. It is also a wonderful match for traditional dishes such as coq au vin or rabbit in mustard sauce. Its finesse allows it to elevate charcuterie, terrines, mushroom-based dishes and moderately intense soft cheeses.

Serving and cellaring

This Bourgogne Rouge 2022 can be enjoyed in its youth for its vibrant fruit, but it also has the structure needed to develop favourably in the cellar. It will drink well until around 2030.

The elegance and purity of a Burgundy wine from Domaine Ramonet

The estate

Although the family's history began in the late 1920s, the company Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet was officially founded in 2013. Located in Chassagne-Montrachet, France, this Burgundy estate covers approximately 19.75 hectares. Today, Jean-Claude Ramonet is the owner and manager of the estate, supported by his daughters Anne-France and Clarisse. Renowned worldwide for its white wines and its heritage of four Grands Crus, Domaine Ramonet stands out for its respect for terroir and its ability to produce red wines of great authenticity.

The vineyard

The grapes for this Burgundy wine come from a meticulous selection of plots across the Côte de Beaune. The vines enjoy a predominantly south-east exposure and are rooted in varied soils, mainly composed of limestone and marl. The estate practises sustainable viticulture, close to organic and biodynamic principles, favouring soil cultivation and biodiversity. The average age of the estate's vines is around 60 years, resulting in naturally low yields and berries of great quality.

Winemaking and ageing

Following manual harvesting, the bunches are hand-sorted before being placed in vats. Fermentation of this Bourgogne Rouge 2022 takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts. To preserve the freshness and vibrancy of the fruit, extraction is gentle, with moderate punching down and pumping over. The wine is then aged for 10 to 12 months in neutral French oak barrels, a deliberate choice so as not to mask the expression of the terroir with oaky aromas.

Grape variety

100% Pinot Noir.
