The Amiot family has been rooted in the Chassagne-Montrachet terroir for generations. 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. 

Sourced from vines planted on a steep, sun-drenched hillside with poor, limestone-rich soils, this wine reflects the concentration and intensity that come from low-yielding vineyards forced to dig deep for sustenance.

Golden in colour with bright green reflections, it opens with an expressive bouquet of carnation, honeysuckle, peony, and ripe orchard fruit. The palate is rich and structured, layering notes of orchard fruit, honey, toasted hazelnut, and wet stone over a dense, concentrated core. A buttery texture is beautifully balanced by crystalline acidity, carrying the wine through a long, persistent finish marked by both power and precision.
