Domaine Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2020
Chassagne-Montrachet grew more red than white for most of its history. The white boom is a modern story, and the reds were pushed aside by economics rather than by quality. Ramonet has never stopped making them, and this village rouge is the most direct way to find out what the fuss was about. 2020 was warm, dry and picked early, giving small berries and concentrated wines, but the good ones kept their freshness and this one stays light-footed instead of heavy. It is Pinot Noir with an earthy, savory streak rather than a sweet-fruited one. Starting to come around now.
