Jean-Claude Ramonet Pernand-Vergelesses Les Belles Filles 2018
Pernand-Vergelesses, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FrancePierre Ramonet arrived in Burgundy in the late 1920s with nothing but a knapsack and started to earn money by buying and vinifying grapes. The land value was very low, so he was able to accumulate vineyard plots surrounding the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, with his first purchase within the great Ruchottes vineyard in 1934. Pierre eventually handed over the reins to his son André, who passed in 2011, and subsequently to his grandchildren, Noël and Jean-Claude, who had tended the family vineyards since 1984. The Domaine produces 24 appellation wines from 40 acres. Sapid plum, perfumed wild raspberry, fresh cherry, and forest floor run a silken yet defined palate, with a noticable toasted wood in the fine, sticky tannins, guiding this to the warming and black tea-kissed finish. Reflective of the warmer year, this is best enjoyed with protein to meld all the elements together.Tasted: 15 October 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Grape: Pinot Noir
