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.
Morgeot [Blanc]
Morgeot is a regulated Premier Cru climat in Chassagne-Montrachet, corresponding to a vast grouping of lieux-dits in the southern part of the vineyard. The product specifications notably link La Grande Borne, La Cardeuse, Les Brussonnes, Les Boirettes, Clos Chareau, Francemont, Clos Pitois, Vigne Blanche, Ez Crottes, Guerchère, Tête du Clos, Les Petits Clos, and Les Grands Clos to Morgeot. It should not be confused with the distinct climat "Abbaye de Morgeot", which covers only parts of the Morgeot and La Chapelle lieux-dits. A producer source describing Morgeot places it mid-slope on predominantly clay-limestone soils.

- Soil
- Predominantly clay-limestone soils, with internal variations among the grouped lieux-dits.
Histoire de la parcelle
A vineyard called "Morga" is mentioned as early as 864 in the Beaune region. In the Middle Ages, the monks of the Cistercian abbey of Maizières developed the wine estate of Morgeot through clearing, donations, and acquisitions. In 1706, their Morgeot estate comprised approximately 180 ouvrées of vines, while a 1714 map depicted an enclosure of 148 ouvrées. The Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, of which Morgeot is today a recognized Premier Cru climat, was established in 1937.
