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.

Rich, profound and forward this is a wine that could stop any conversation. The nose is honeyed, toasty and intensely ripe whilst the palate is layered and powerful, with flavours of orange marmalade, citrus, roasted nuts, honeysuckle, hints of spice, dessert apple, and nutmeg. Despite its weight and richness, the wine shows remarkable vibrancy, focus, and precision. A wine that demands attention.
The grapes were handpicked and the wine fermented and then aged in 100% new oak for 12 months, followed by 6 months in steel before bottling. In 2024, just one 300 litre barrel was produced compared to the usual two.
