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
Each vintage reveals generosity and elegance that is limited only by a small production: 600 bottles (50 cases) at best when Mother Nature is keen to please... Usual characteristics include light yellow-green hints in a shiny and limpid wine. Thanks to its exceptional terroir of stones and abundant sunshine, the nose is complex and flattering quite soon. Aromatic generosity of the nose is confirmed by a deep and unctuous mouth revealing fresh minty and white fruit with honeyed nuts notes. Persistent and mineral retro-olfaction. Ends with a lingering finish enhanced by the nerve of morning sun and mineral stony under-soil.
