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.
Clos Saint Jean
Clos Saint-Jean is an officially recognized climat of the AOC Chassagne-Montrachet, located to the west and just above the village, mid-slope. It is historically renowned for red wines, although the appellation allows both colors. The terroir is described as east-facing, relatively flat in relief, with clay, marl, and limestone materials whose composition varies within the climat.

Histoire de la parcelle
Documentary tradition links the clos to the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Jean-le-Grand d'Autun, which is said to have owned and farmed it before the year 1000. A producer source indicates that it later passed to the Cistercians of the abbey of Maizières, though the exact date of this transfer cannot be determined. Clos Saint-Jean is included today in the regulatory list of climats that can accompany the "Premier Cru" designation of the AOC Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, initially recognized on July 31, 1937.
