Domaine Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2020 Lettie Teague WSJ On Wine from a hillside workshop in

from a hillside workshop in the hamlet of Collevecchio just outside Teramo

and Domaine Chanson's version shows why

leaning on citrus and orchard fruit with a cool mineral streak

and about as good as a gift with a message attached gets

then aged in new charred American oak—like bourbon

Domaine Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2020 Lettie Teague WSJ On Wine from a hillside workshop inChassagne 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
