Powerful, mineral-driven Chardonnay: hazelnut, honeyed stone fruits, ripe pear, citrus zest and wet-stone minerality with long, honeyed finish and impressive concentration.

Food Pairing
Western: lobster with beurre blanc, truffle risotto, roasted chicken in cream sauce, seared scallops. Asian: miso‑glazed black cod, tempura prawns, sushi/sashimi (fatty tuna), steamed fish with ginger and scallions.

Production Method
Hand-harvested, low yields; partial de-stemming; traditional fermentation with oak influence; aged 12–18 months in (significant) new oak with extended lees contact and minimal bâtonnage.

Vineyard Info
Domaine Ramonet (founded by Pierre Ramonet) is a small, family-run estate in Chassagne/Puligny-Montrachet owning tiny Le Montrachet parcels; Noël and Jean‑Claude Ramonet continue its reputation for ageworthy, powerful whites.
