Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils
Since 1920 generation after generation the Amiot family have plunged their roots in the soil and terroir of Chassagne-Montrachet. Arsène and Flavie Amiot founders of the estate initiated a wine vocation that has reached the 4th generation represented today by their great grand sons Thierry and Fabrice. Guy their father who had given a new start to the family business since 1985 can be satisfied by the immortalization of the family tradition.Thanks to the maintenance of the business by the family sons who follow one another at the head of the Domaine the vineyards have remained owned by the family. This allows a more traditional viticulture free from any speculative spirit.
Description
Aligoté is sometimes known as the “other white grape” in Burgundy. It’s most famous use is that of the base of a kir cocktail, which is commonplace in the small tabacs that dot the perimeter of Beaune. Aligoté is higher acidity than Chardonnay, and it is very rare to see old vines, such as Amiot’s. A complex, refreshing white Burgundy, in its own right, no cassis necessary.
