The steeper slopes of Caillerets, strewn with lumps of limestone and pebbles, lie beside the winery on the southern aspect of the village and benefit from the afternoon sun. Amiot’s 0.5 hectare is split between 2 parcels, one 86 years old the other a mere 48! A true expression of Chassagne identity this wine combines power, elegance, and unmistakable character, standing apart from the more linear modern style.
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.

Ripe and expressive, this wine is layered with honeyed, toasty, and tropical fruit aromas framed by intense citrusy lemon acidity and a wet stone minerality. On the palate it is sumptuous and powerful, with complex layers of white peach and stone fruits and a creamy, voluminous texture that coats the mouth. Mouthwatering acidity runs from start to finish balancing the richness with precision and lift. A true expression of Chassagne identity this wine combines power, elegance, and unmistakable character, standing apart from the more linear modern style.
Aged for12 months in 30% new oak and 9 months in tank before bottling.
