Founders Flavie and Arsène relocated from Paris to raise their family, acquiring outbuildings and vineyards and ultimately establishing the domaine in 1920. Originally known as Domaine Arsène Amiot, the estate quickly distinguished itself through its early commitment to estate bottling—an uncommon practice at the time when many growers sold wine in bulk. The distinctive bottles became easily recognizable to clientele, helping to build a dedicated direct-sales network and laying the foundation for a long-standing winemaking tradition. By the late 1980s, under the leadership of the founder’s grandson Guy, the domaine entered a new era. A trained oenologist, he produced notable vintages, expanded international trade, and significantly elevated the estate’s global reputation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNamed after a Catholic institution in Autun that originally owned the entire site before the land was divided up after the French Revolution, Clos Saint Jean is an iconic Chassagne vineyard known primarily for its reds—but it also lends itself beautifully to Chardonnay. Thanks to its favourable exposure, gentle slope, and deep soils, the site offers excellent conditions for white wine expression. Today, about one-third of the estate’s Clos Saint Jean holdings are planted with white grape varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe nose opens with inviting aromas of orchard fruit and magnolia blossom, accented by subtle hints of flint. On the palate, vibrant acidity is beautifully balanced by a soft texture and creamy mouthfeel, creating both freshness and depth. Gentle toasty notes mingle with a clean mineral character, lending definition and complexity to the bright fruit and floral flavours. The finish is long, refined, and persistent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicholas Pearce Wines Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970470527194,"sku":"L51910-1","price":1217.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0420\/7922\/3966\/files\/LCBORetailReleases_57_ed9d604c-bc7c-426f-baa4-f922b339e24e.png?v=1781037870","url":"https:\/\/www.npwines.com\/products\/guy-amiot-chassagne-montrachet-1er-cru-clos-st-jean","provider":"Nicholas Pearce Wines Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
