Domaine Jean Claude Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 2016

Domaine Jean Claude Ramonet’s Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 2016 is a standout Premier Cru Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most respected names. Known for its finesse, precise structure, and remarkable balance of fruit and minerality, it has earned strong international acclaim and shows beautifully even in a challenging vintage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it presents a refined, luminous profile with the richness and depth expected from top Chassagne-Montrachet. The nose opens with ripe pear, peach, and citrus oil, layered with subtle notes of petroleum and rosemary oil that add complexity and lift. On the palate, the wine is juicy and medium-bodied, combining elegance with a distinctly mineral backbone and a touch of warmth on the finish. Its harmony of fruit, acidity, and texture makes it appealing now, while the structure suggests a graceful evolution through around 2030 and beyond.

Production
Made from Chardonnay grown in the Premier Cru Morgeot vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet, this wine reflects one of Burgundy’s most prized terroirs, where limestone-rich soils help deliver tension, minerality, and depth. The 2016 vintage was notably demanding, yet the wine’s balance and clarity indicate careful vineyard work and precise winemaking that preserved freshness and definition.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast chicken, veal, lobster, scallops, or rich fish dishes such as turbot with butter sauce. Serve it chilled at around 10–12°C, and while decanting is not essential, a short airing in the glass or a brief decant can help раскры its aromatic complexity.
