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. 

Named for either “the field reclaimed from the forest” or “the field where one makes a profit,” this superb mid-slope vineyard benefits from excellent sun exposure, helping to achieve consistent ripeness year after year. The combination of clay and limestone soils lends both richness and structure, resulting in a wine of depth and character.

Bright straw-yellow in colour with delicate green highlights, the wine opens with an expressive and inviting bouquet marked by ripe orchard fruit and a rounded, generous profile. The palate is full and silky, revealing layers of white fruit, honeyed almond, and a refreshing hint of menthol. A vibrant thread of freshness carries through the finish, where the cool morning exposure and stony mineral soils leave a lasting impression of elegance and precision.
