This larger vineyard, planted in 1983, lies directly beneath Vergers and gently slopes to the upper reaches of the village and across to the boundary with Puligny and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. Amiot owns a 0.5 plot of clay dominant soil which helps retain a softer, more opulent style of Chassagne. Exposure is North East and the vines are 50 years old.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

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.

Known as the La Femme Classique of Chassagne this is a big, rich, concentrated, opulent wine, with a lovely density of ripe peach, apple and honeyed fruit, supported by 25% new oak.
Aged in 25% new oak for 12 months followed by 6 months in cuve. This vineyard was first planted to Pinot Noir by Fabrice and Thierry's grandfather , but since 1983 has been solely Chardonnay. In 2023 the yield was 45hl/ha
