Bourgogne Chardonnay

Sole meunière or a buttery roast chicken.

Ideally located partly in the valley of Chassagne, our plots, benefit from a rich soil made of clay and limestone. The low altitude and the south-east sunny exposure ensure water and nutrients that produce ripe, juicy and aromatic berries. The old age and our pruning method are one of the reasons for limiting the quantity and providing a high quality regional Chardonnay.

After 12 months of ageing, the wine is pumped back to one tank for bottling preparation.

The first steps include crushing and fermentation in French oak barrels (1/3) and stainless steel tank (2/3). Then come bâtonnage and natural malolactic fermentation at cellar temperature (13 to 14°C).

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.
