This larger vineyard, planted in 1983, lies directly beneath Vergers and gently slopes to the upper reaches of the village and across to the boundary with Puligny and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. Amiot owns a 0.5 hectare plot of clay dominant soil which helps retain a softer, more opulent style of Chassagne. The north-east exposure and 50-year-old vines contribute to naturally high acidity, key for the balance in this vintage.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils

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.

Known as the “La Femme Classique” of Chassagne this is a big, rich, and concentrated Premier Cru with ripe peach, apple, and honeyed fruit supported by 30% new oak. The nose is layered with tropical fruit, honeysuckle and peach whilst the palate is dry, full bodied, and rounded, showing pear, honey, dessert apple and vanilla. Wet stone minerality and bright, citric acidity keep the wine lifted and precise giving a taut, elegant finish. Powerful yet poised, Macherelles retains the signature richness and clarity of the Amiot style.
Fabrice noted “We lost around 40% of the grapes but the quality was even better than 2023 with crop levels around 35 hl/ha.”Aged in 30% new oak.
