Amiot own a 0.25ha plot on this highly regarded 1er Cru. The soil is pebbly and chalky, underpinned by the limestone that is found along most of the Côte d’Or and it is famous for producing the finest reds of this Appellation. Amiot could only produce 600 bottles this vintage, such was the climatic challenge in 2020, so it is rather difficult to get your hands on!

Domaine Amiot

Domaine Guy Amiot’s work springs from a long tradition begun in the 1920s under the direction of founder Arsène Amiot. Arsène started acquiring parcels in Chassagne in the 1920s and under his direction Domaine Amiot became one of the first domaines in Burgundy to bottle their own wines. By the time Guy Amiot (who the current domaine is named after), took over in 1985, the domaine had built up very impressive holdings and had passed the knowledge of how to best care for the vines down from generation to generation. There was a continuity of work in the vineyards that led to solid consistency in the wines. In 1993, Guy’s son Thierry Amiot took over and has been both respecting the tradition and striving for improvement ever since.
Highly intense, ripe and concentrated, packed with cassis fruits with beautiful defined tannins. The finish is suave and perfectly balanced. A wonderful wine!
