12 separate parcels of vines, spread across 2.5ha of the lower slopes all around the village, each parcel with a different aspect. The majority of the vines are aged 40-90 year old, though 2 parcels have ‘younger’ vines at just 20 year old.

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.

This 2023 Chassagne is showing a ripe, nutty and richly structured palate, balanced, tense and showing lovely precision and depth of ripe fruit. White peach, nuance of pear and baked dessert apple, layered with traces of honey, cereal and sweet oak. Very textured and opulent.
100% destemmed after hand picking, fermented in epoxy tank before finishing ferment in 25% new oak barrels.
