Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grande Montagne Vieilles Vignes Bachelet-Ramonet (Domaine) 1996

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.
