Domaine Bachelet Ramonet

Domaine Bachelet Ramonet is a small family estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, carved from the historic Ramonet domaine following a division among heirs in the 1980s. The estate holds a focused portfolio of premier and grand cru parcels in the Côte de Beaune, with its strength firmly in white Burgundy. The flagship Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes—a 0.4-hectare parcel of old-vine Chardonnay on iron-rich limestone—regularly accounts for the largest share of auction volume and averages $281 per lot across 66 auction appearances, with the 2008 vintage the most traded. The estate's grand cru holding, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, commands the highest average at $505 per lot, with top lots from the 2006 vintage reaching auction highs above $2,100. Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères rounds out the white portfolio with a $354 average. Red offerings—Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Rouge and Clos Saint-Jean Rouge—play a secondary role, with the 1983 Morgeot Rouge representing the estate's deepest back-vintage auction presence. Across 180 total lots and an overall average of $329, Bachelet Ramonet delivers reliable quality at pricing well below comparable Ramonet bottlings, making it an accessible entry into Chassagne's finest premier cru terroirs.
