Jean-Claude Ramonet 1er Cru Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de la Budriotte rouge 2017 AOC 0,75l

Jean-Claude Ramonet 1er Cru Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de la Budriotte rouge 2017 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a wine capable of expressing the essence of the Chassagne-Montrachet terroir through a red lens, choosing to offer something distinct from the region's existing reds. Produced by a domaine with a consolidated history, Ramonet is a precision laboratory where every decision begins in the vineyard, from the selection of the sunbursts on the leaves to the careful manual harvest, up to the transport to the cellar and the meticulous aging. The company's identity is based on a long family tradition that has always favored the integration of terroir and personal style, with a presence discreetly imbued with rigor and respect for the raw material. The production philosophy translates into careful practices: moderate yields, careful transfers, minimal passage through modern facilities, and patient management of aging in tonneaux and French oak barrels that favor a balance between fruit, tannins, and minerality. The distinctive element arises from the exceptional microclimate of the Clos de la Budriotte, a setting where the recurring light and constant temperature favor slow maturation; the soil, rich in limestone and clay, imbues the wine with a marked finesse. The stylistic characteristics emerge in a palette of aromas that intertwines ripe red fruits, cherry, and raspberry, with notes of undergrowth, light spice, and floral accents. On the palate, a medium-bodied profile is perceived, with polished tannins and a lively acidity that sustains the length. This red 1er Cru completes the producer's offerings, offering a different interpretation than the house's iconic whites, a vantage point on how the Chassagne-Montrachet terroir can express itself in red without sacrificing elegance and finesse. It is a bottle suitable for wine lovers seeking depth and longevity, but also a suitable choice for moments of contemplation, with wines akin to domestic warmth and attention to detail. In summary, Jean-Claude Ramonet 1er Cru Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de la Budriotte rouge 2017 is the result of a company vision that prioritizes coherence between history, territory and style, consistent with the STELT positioning.
