From perhaps the most iconic Chardonnay vineyard in the world, this is an impressive beast of a wine. Guy Amiot has now passed on the reins to his sons, Thierry and Fabrice, the fourth generation at this top Chassagne producer. As they say ‘Le Montrachet’ is ‘le vrai Montrachet’!

Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils

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.

Beautifully layered, the bouquet reveals white and yellow orchard fruits with a hint of honeysuckle. Powerful and complex on the palate, this shows great ageing potential.
Delicious with halibut in a lemon butter sauce.
