Domaine Guy Amiot

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.

I love the red wine from this appellation which is more noted for its white wines. Value for money or what! Compact and rich in strawberry and mulled cherry with a touch of hedgerow, this is classic Pinot Noir. Stony minerality and finely grained tannins add dimension. Delicious!
100% destemmed after hand picking, fermented in epoxy tank before finishing ferment in 25% new oak barrels.
