Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Emphasis on low-intervention winemaking, limited use of chemicals, careful canopy management to reduce water usage, and natural yeast fermentation. Minimalist cellar work with minimal additions.

Domaine Ramonet is a traditional Burgundy grower focusing on terroir-driven wines with careful vineyard management that leans towards sustainability, but without formal certification. Energy and water conservation measures are applied, although carbon footprint is typical for Old World imports. Overall sustainability is good but not exemplary.
