Reviews

94 Wine Spectator -
Intense, expressive aromas of lime blossom, lanolin, vanilla, peach and pastry mark this viscous white. Almost oily in texture, this features vivid underlying acidity and a long, focused finish of citrus, spice and pastry. Best from 2022 through 2032. 300 cases made, 50 cases imported.

Wine Spectator 94, $30 below market value and free shipping on 2+ bottles! White Burgundy deal of the year! Today we are serving up a sweet white Burg deal on a wine normally highly allocated to restaurants, etc. Gorgeous, intense, fine and thrilling to drink (or hold for a decade or so!). Only 15 cases! The Domaine Amiot was founded in Chassagne-Montrachet in 1920 by Arsene Amiot when he acquired select parcels in Chassagne including Vergers, Caillerets, Clos St. Jean, and in what is today, Le Montrachet. Now in its 4th generation (great-grandson Thierry Amiot), the wines are more exciting than ever.

Les Vergers is on the more gentle part of the slope north of the village of Chassagne, with clay and gravelly limestone soils. Just one single vineyard (Les Chenevottes) seperates this site from Le Montrachet, just a short stroll from Vergers. This is prime time Chardonny terroir. This climate gives the wine a crisp mineral profile layered over silky citrus and orchard fruit notes.

If you love “special occasion”, powerful Chassagne, PLEASE do not miss this absolutely unheard-of price!!

About the Producer

The Domaine Amiot was founded in Chassagne-Montrachet in 1920 by Arsene Amiot when he acquired select parcels of vines or "climats" in Chassagne including Vergers, Caillerets, Clos St. Jean and in what is today Le Montrachet. Under Aresene, Domaine Amiot became one of the first domaines in Burgundy to bottle their own production. In the 1930s the domaine passed to Aresene's son, Pierre, who continued to add top sites such as Champs Gains, Macherelles, Maltroie and their tiny parcel in Puligny, Les Demoiselles. Pierre's son, Guy, took the reins in 1985 and solidified the reputation of the domaine for producing wines of exceptional quality from an impressive array of top vineyard sites. Guy's son Thierry took over the winemaking in 2003 and continues the tradition of expressing the unique character of each vineyard site while constantly seeking to improve the quality of the wines.
