Chassagne-Montrachet Bachelet-Ramonet (Domaine) 1995

The wine

This Chassagne-Montrachet is made from Pinot Noir grapes growing on an ideal clay-limestone terroir.
With its bright colour and purplish tints, this wine offers a seductive intensity. The bewitching aromas of juicy Morello cherry, sweet cherry pit and wild strawberry blend delicately in a sensory dance. These fruity aromas are beautifully enhanced by subtle, almost mysterious hints of damp undergrowth and tropical spices. The tannins, while young, are austere yet promising, softening over time to reveal a rich, full-flavoured structure of captivating complexity.
This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled and roasted red meats, meats in sauce, or soft cheeses.

About the Producer Bachelet-Ramonet

Rooted in Chassagne-Montrachet among the golden slopes of the Côte d’Or, Domaine Bachelet-Ramonet covers 13 hectares of vines and carries forward a winemaking heritage carefully upheld over four generations. Now in the hands of Alain Bonnefoy and his wife, it continues with a quiet commitment to the land and the values that have shaped its history.
The house style is deliberately classic, remaining true to the character of the region’s appellations. No ostentation or showy winemaking techniques here; the estate produces clean, precise, and well-crafted cuvées. White and red wines alike capture the true character of their climats with precision, consistently offering well balanced, elegant, and structured profiles that consistently retain a sense of inviting generosity.
Meticulous attention is paid to the vineyard work and winery practices, practices, respecting nature’s rhythms and allowing the terroir to speak with clarity. This measured philosophy yields cuvées that appeal to lovers of racy Burgundy wines without intimidating newcomers, combining drinkability with the promise of ageing potential.
While the reputation of Chassagne-Montrachet has soared in recent years, Bachelet-Ramonet has kept its pricing measured, making it one of the fairest and most dependable estates in the Côte d’Or. A producer to follow closely for those who appreciate Burgundy’s quietly confident but consistently reliable producers.
