Domaine Ramonet : Puligny-Montrachet Village "Les Enseignères" 2022

Characteristics and tasting notes of the Puligny-Montrachet Village "Les Enseignères" 2022 from Domaine Ramonet

Tasting

Appearance
Remarkably limpid, this white wine reveals a yellow hue ranging from pale to medium, adorned with greenish reflections in its youth.

Nose
The aromatic bouquet opens with scents of white-fleshed fruits, such as pear and apple, mingled with citrus notes and delicate floral touches of hawthorn. The whole is underpinned by a minerality evoking wet stone, along with subtle woody nuances of vanilla and fresh hazelnut.

Palate
The attack is remarkably precise, guided by a beautiful acidic freshness. The mid-palate reveals a silky, ample texture, without any heaviness, unveiling flavours of fruit, fresh butter and almond. The finish stretches out at length on a saline minerality and a noble hint of bitterness.

Food and wine pairings

This wine pairs wonderfully with fine shellfish such as lobster or langoustines, as well as with sea fish such as turbot or sea bass. It also accompanies very well poultry with cream and mushroom sauces, hard cooked-curd cheeses such as an aged Comté, or Asian-inspired dishes such as sushi and sashimi.

Serving and cellaring

To fully appreciate the Puligny-Montrachet Village "Les Enseignères" 2022, it is advisable to serve it at a temperature between 11 and 13 °C. Approachable on the fruit in its youth, this wine possesses a solid structure allowing it to evolve favourably in the cellar until around 2034.

The vines thrive on a moderate slope offering excellent exposure, rooted in limestone and marl soils. The estate practises sustainable viticulture, favouring meticulous soil work to encourage deep rooting and preserve the health of the plant in the face of climatic hazards.

The vintage

The year 2022 was marked by generally hot and dry weather, punctuated by episodes of intense summer heat. Thanks to the soils' water reserves and adapted viticultural management, the vines were able to withstand these conditions. Harvests carried out at the opportune moment made it possible to preserve a beautiful freshness, yielding berries with generous and optimal ripeness.

Winemaking and aging
