Produced from 12 separate parcels of vines spread across 2.5 hectare of the lower slopes all around the village, each parcel with a different aspect. The majority of the vines are aged 40-90 year old, though 2 parcels have ‘younger’ vines at just 20 year old. With yields of 38 hl/ha, this full bodied yet precise wine is exotic and sumptuous, combining elegance with mouthwatering freshness.

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.

The nose is opulent, revealing layers of tropical fruit, grapefruit, pineapple, alongside ripe stone fruits, peach, stewed apple, and honey with a touch of spice. On the palate the wine is rich and creamy yet there is a driving acidity and striking minerality with intense fruit aromas. The finish is layered, citric, and long, leaving a lasting impression of precision and balance.
100% destemmed after hand picking, fermented in epoxy tank before finishing ferment in 30% new oak barrels.
