The steeper slopes of Caillerets, strewn with lumps of limestone and pebbles, lie beside the winery on the southern aspect of the village, and this benefit from the afternoon sun. Amiot’s 0.5ha is split between 2 parcels, one 86 years old, the other a mere 48!

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.

Wow – what a stunning wine! Big, rich, deeply opulent and sumptuous – baked sweet apple, honeycomb, cereal, intense minerality and slaked with lime zest, saline and peach. This is a BIG, deep and concentrated wine. Complex and very age-worthy.
Aged for 12 months in 25% new oak and 9 months in tank before bottling.
