Despite four grands crus in the cellar each year, the Ramonets clearly retain a special affection for the premier cru vineyards with which their grandfather (or great-grandfather to the younger generation) Pierre made his name: Les Ruchottes in white and the Clos de la Boudriotte in pinot noir, two of many beautiful Ramonet wines.

Part of the holding of Les Ruchottes dates back to 1934. This is arguably the most exciting of the Ramonet premiers crus, with an extraordinary density of fruit. Do not look for finesse, freshness and elegance, but for an all-encompassing basket of flavours and textures which will develop into a sublime wine with time in bottle or in the glass.
