Jean Claude Ramonet Bourgogne Les Durots 2021

Jean-Claude Ramonet Bourgogne Rouge "Les Durots" 2021
In the cool, classically styled 2021 vintage, Les Durots shows Ramonet’s red wine precision at its most delicate. Grown just below Chassagne-Montrachet, this Pinot Noir is light on its feet yet layered—crushed red cherry, rose petal and gentle spice glide over a limestone-driven core. Fine tannins and lifted acidity give it a quietly serious profile that drinks well now but rewards patience.

The Domaine
Ramonet is one of Burgundy’s great names, revered for white wines of tension and purity. Yet the domaine’s reds—especially from parcels like Les Durots—carry the same mineral stamp and finesse. Led by Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet, the estate combines traditional cellar work with lutte raisonnée farming, delivering wines that are both restrained and quietly age-worthy.
