Domaine Ramonet

History of Domaine Ramonet

Founded in the late 1920s by Pierre Ramonet and his wife Simone, Domaine Ramonet began cultivating and producing wine on the family's properties in Chassagne-Montrachet. Since then, Domaine Ramonet has been a significant player in Burgundy, earning a top-notch reputation for its dedication to quality and tradition. The Ramonet family has maintained a deep connection to the land and terroir, especially in Chassagne-Montrachet, reflected in their exceptional wines.

Strict Focus on Quality over Quantity

The annual production varies, but the estate always aims to maintain the highest standards in their wines, resulting in a relatively limited production. One notable aspect of Domaine Ramonet's production methods is the meticulous handling of grapes. Grapes are handpicked, undergoing a strict selection process to ensure that only the finest grapes are used in production. This careful work yields wines of exceptional quality and purity, reflecting the terroir and vineyards in a highly authentic manner.
