Domaine Ramonet’s Puligny-Montrachet village wine is the domaine’s most accessible entry point into the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, produced from village-level parcels and vinified with the same natural fermentation, restrained new oak and extended lees contact philosophy that governs the estate’s Grand Cru and Premier Cru expressions. While the Ramonet domaine’s reputation rests on its extraordinary Grand Cru and Premier Cru white wines from Chassagne-Montrachet and adjacent Grand Crus, the village Puligny-Montrachet provides access to the domaine’s house style and philosophy in a wine that reflects the appellation’s characteristic mineral precision and floral aromatic quality without the complexity or depth of the estate’s more prestigious holdings. The 2022 warm vintage produced village Puligny of excellent aromatic generosity and immediate appeal, reflecting the sun-warmed character of a growing season that provides earlier accessible pleasure than the leaner, more austere cool vintages.

A Ramonet village Puligny-Montrachet is, by design, a wine of pleasure and accessibility rather than contemplation and ageing: a wine that carries the domaine’s philosophy and meticulous approach into the simplest and most approachable expression of one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Chardonnay appellations. For those who collect Ramonet’s work comprehensively and who wish to drink something from this estate with some regularity without opening Premier Cru or Grand Cru bottles, the village Puligny provides the ideal accessible companion to the more serious wines in the range.

This village wine is offered alongside two other 2022 Ramonet whites in this catalogue (Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru and Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes Premier Cru), allowing collectors who acquire all three to compare the domaine’s approach across three different levels of the Burgundy appellation hierarchy in the same vintage and from the same winery philosophy.

Pale gold with a fresh and aromatic nose of lemon, white peach, white flowers, chalk mineral and a light hazelnut note from the Puligny limestone soils. Medium-bodied with good natural acidity, clean concentration from the warm 2022 vintage and a mineral, precise finish. Drink now through 2030.
