The Demoiselles vineyard, lying to the northern edge of Montrachet and across from the 1er Cru of Les Pucelles, is owned by just 3 producers. It is arguably the finest of the 1er cru, and for the sake of 9 feet of pathway and a small wall, could be Montrachet itself. Amiot’s 0.25 hectare of 70 year old vines are wedged between the northern edge of the Grand Cru of Le Montrachet, and just below Chevalier-Montrachet.
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.

The nose is rich and expressive, whilst the palate unfolds layer upon layer of intensely ripe dried stone fruits, citrus and spice, all balanced by a taut minerality and a steely structure. The precision, power, and depth are Grand Cru-like. Truly outstanding. For lovers of white Burgundy, Demoiselles is an iconic wine.
Aged in 30% new oak this is a powerful Puligny showing great concentration, depth and complexity.
