2022 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bourgogone Passetoutgrain Rouge

The 2022 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bourgogne Passetoutgrains Rouge is a refined yet approachable Burgundy that reflects the pedigree of one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most respected family domaines. Domaine Ramonet has a long-standing reputation for excellence and is especially renowned for producing some of the world’s most distinctive Chardonnays from prestigious sites like Montrachet, all harvested by hand and aged largely in neutral French oak. This Passetoutgrains bottling, however, highlights the estate’s red-wine craftsmanship through a classic regional blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, a style typical of the Bourgogne Passe-tout-grains appellation. In the glass, it shows a vivid ruby color with bright aromas of raspberry, cassis, and fresh red fruit, followed by a lively palate featuring juicy berry flavors, gentle tannins, and refreshing acidity that keeps the finish clean and food-friendly. Wines from this designation are generally lighter in body with moderate acidity and lower tannin compared with higher-classified Burgundies, emphasizing drinkability and terroir expression. Overall, the 2022 vintage captures Ramonet’s signature precision and balance in a charming, versatile red that over-delivers for its level.
