Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Caillerets” 2021 – Jean-Claude Ramonet

A benchmark Premier Cru: finesse, minerality, and Burgundian precision

Terroir

The Premier Cru Les Caillerets is one of the most prestigious climats of Chassagne-Montrachet, located on a well-exposed mid-slope with shallow, stony limestone-rich soils. This terroir is renowned for producing wines of great elegance and mineral tension. The 2021 vintage, cooler and more classic in style, highlights purity, freshness, and crystalline expression, perfectly suited to the refined style of Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
Pure and precise aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with notes of white flowers, crushed stone, and subtle hints of hazelnut and fresh butter.

Palate & Finish:
The palate is taut and refined, offering a beautifully silky texture balanced by a vibrant, chalky minerality. The wine shows remarkable precision and energy, with a linear, focused mid-palate. The finish is long and saline, lingering on notes of citrus, white stone fruit, and delicate mineral nuances. A quintessential white Burgundy, elegant and age-worthy.
