Description
Characteristics and tasting tips for the Pernand-Vergelesses Village "Les Belles Filles" 2023 from Domaine Ramonet
Tasting
Colour
The wine displays a light ruby to garnet hue of medium intensity, with subtle violet highlights in its youth.
Nose
The nose opens with a fresh, vibrant bouquet of small red and black fruits such as cherry, strawberry, raspberry and blackcurrant. This fruity core is enriched by delicate floral notes of violet, earthy hints of undergrowth and a spicy touch of white pepper and pink peppercorns.
Palate
On the palate, this wine offers harmonious balance and fine concentration. Generous fruit is supported by bright acidity and fine, silky, velvety tannins. The finish is long and complex, drawn out by lovely minerality and subtle spicy notes.
Food and wine pairings
This red wine pairs beautifully with roast game birds such as pigeon or quail, as well as with full-flavoured meats such as beef or lamb. It is also a perfect match for classic Burgundian dishes such as coq au vin or rabbit in mustard sauce, and for Asian-inspired dishes such as lacquered duck or grilled salmon.
Serving and cellaring
With fine ageing potential, this wine can be cellared and enjoyed until around 2035.
The elegance and minerality of a red wine from Pernand-Vergelesses
The estate
Officially founded in 1930 in Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Ramonet (now Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet) is an iconic name in Burgundy. Although its history dates back to the 1920s, the estate is now run by Jean-Claude Ramonet, assisted by his daughters Anne-France and Clarisse. The vineyard covers around twenty hectares spread across twenty-four appellations of the Côte de Beaune. Renowned worldwide for its white grands crus, the domaine also produces red wines of remarkable finesse, with a hands-on, artisanal approach and deep respect for terroir.
The vineyard
The "Les Belles Filles" climat lies within the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation, in the north-west of the Côte de Beaune. The parcel devoted to Pinot Noir extends across a steep slope at the foot of the Corton hill, between Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. Benefiting from varied exposures (east, south and north-east), this terroir stands out for its soils of limestone and iron-rich red clay. The domaine practises meticulous viticulture, buys in no grapes, and harvests exclusively by hand.
Winemaking and ageing
For the 2023 vintage, the grapes were carefully sorted before undergoing traditional vinification in open vats. Fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts, alongside gentle extraction techniques, with measured punching down and pumping over to preserve the purity of the fruit. The wine was then aged on its lees for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, around one third of them new, adding complexity without masking the identity of the terroir.
Grape variety
100% Pinot Noir.
