The domaine is now associated with approximately \u003cstrong\u003e17 hectares of vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e, encompassing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and smaller plantings of Aligoté and Gamay. Although Ramonet is best known internationally for its white wines, Pinot Noir represents a substantial part of the estate: roughly \u003cstrong\u003e6.8 hectares are planted to red varieties\u003c\/strong\u003e, including important Premier Cru holdings in Morgeot, Clos Saint-Jean and Clos de la Boudriotte. Red Chassagne also has considerable historical precedent. Through much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the village was strongly associated with Pinot Noir, and red wine represented the majority of its production well into the twentieth century. Ramonet has maintained that side of the domaine alongside its Chardonnay program. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMorgeot is one of the largest and most historically important Premier Cru areas in Chassagne-Montrachet\u003c\/strong\u003e, situated in the southern portion of the appellation. The sector has a long association with both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with its comparatively substantial clay component particularly conducive to structured red wines. Ramonet’s Morgeot Rouge comes from Pinot Noir planted within this Premier Cru area, on a \u003cstrong\u003esoutheasterly exposed slope\u003c\/strong\u003e. The site’s clay, limestone and gravel contribute to Morgeot’s reputation for producing Chassagne reds with greater breadth and depth than many of the village’s more delicately structured sites. The combination of Morgeot’s substantial soils and Pinot Noir gives the wine a naturally firm foundation while retaining the freshness characteristic of the Côte de Beaune. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2022 Morgeot Rouge is \u003cstrong\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e, harvested by hand and vinified using Ramonet’s traditional approach to red Burgundy. The grapes are \u003cstrong\u003edestemmed before maceration and fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, with gentle extraction used to develop structure while avoiding excessive tannin. The 2022 received approximately \u003cstrong\u003e12 to 15 months of élevage on the lees in French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, with roughly \u003cstrong\u003eone-third new oak\u003c\/strong\u003e. This combination of destemming, measured extraction and barrel maturation is well suited to Morgeot, where the vineyard naturally provides considerable depth and structure. Ramonet’s reds have also demonstrated an ability to develop over extended bottle age, particularly at the Premier Cru level. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2022 vintage; 100% Pinot Noir; Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru AOC; Morgeot; Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France; red; 750ml; 13.5% alcohol.\u003c\/strong\u003e The vines are at least \u003cstrong\u003e18 years old\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the wine was matured for approximately 12–15 months in barrel, including about one-third new oak. The 2022 Burgundy growing season was warm and dry but also produced a healthy crop, allowing Pinot Noir to achieve full ripeness while maintaining balance. In Morgeot, that vintage character works particularly well with a site already known for producing Pinot Noir with depth and structure. The resulting wine combines ripe red and dark fruit with spice, fine tannins and the underlying freshness necessary for further development in bottle. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morgeot Rouge has enough structure for substantial dishes while retaining the versatility of Pinot Noir. \u003cstrong\u003eRoast duck, guinea hen, veal, pork loin and roast chicken\u003c\/strong\u003e are natural pairings.
