Domain Ramonet Batard Montrachet 1991 Bottle (75cl)
The 1991 Domaine Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet is a white Burgundy wine from the Bâtard-Montrachet grand cru in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay, it hails from one of the great terroirs of the Côte de Beaune. The Wine Advocate awarded it 90/100, describing a precise, deep wine with a tight structure, driven by pronounced acidity and nuances of honey, butter, and smoked sweet apple. The publication recommended drinking it between 1993 and 2003.

Histoire du domaine
Domaine Ramonet was founded in Chassagne-Montrachet by Pierre Ramonet in the late 1920s. In the early days, Pierre Ramonet bought grapes, vinified them and then sold the wines. He gradually acquired plots of land around Chassagne-Montrachet; part of the Ruchottes came under the estate’s ownership in 1934. His son André continued to develop the family business. Pierre’s grandsons, Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet, subsequently became involved in the estate’s operations and ensured its continuity. After the 2013 harvest, Noël Ramonet withdrew from day-to-day operations to tend his own vines and supply his grapes to Jean-Claude Ramonet. Jean-Claude Ramonet has since taken charge of winemaking and marketing under his own name, whilst maintaining the estate’s established practices. SCEA Domaine Ramonet remains active in Chassagne-Montrachet; its partners include the family-run businesses of Noël and Jean-Claude Ramonet, whilst Jean-Claude Ramonet is the managing director. Since 2024, Pierre-François and Michaël Ramonet have also been managing directors of this company.
Bâtard-Montrachet (Puligny Montrachet)
Bâtard-Montrachet is both a Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated climat, shared between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. It occupies the lower part of the slope, exposed mainly to the east and south-east, at around 240 to 250 metres of altitude. Its brown limestone soils are thicker and more clayey towards the foothill, with clay colluvium relatively poor in stones. The substrate consists mainly of platy limestones from the Middle Jurassic, attributed to the Callovian.

Histoire de la parcelle
The "Bâtard" climat was already distinguished from Montrachet in the 18th century, although its wines were long assimilated with those of Montrachet. A 1921 judgment consecrated the use of the name "Bâtard-Montrachet" and the local hierarchy of grand crus. The AOC was recognized by the decree of 31 July 1937; its plot area was initially demarcated in 1939, then approved by the INAO in 1988 for Chassagne-Montrachet and in 1989 for Puligny-Montrachet.
