Amiot Guy & Fils
Amiot Guy & Fils works the limestone slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. The appellation straddles red and white production, though this producer focuses on Pinot Noir—the region's classical expression of elegance and mineral tension. The Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes draws from older vines, a practice that typically yields concentrated fruit and structural depth. The wine has been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Chassagne-Montrachet itself sits at the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune, where cooler conditions and clay-limestone soils shape wines of restraint and aging potential. Pinot Noir from this terroir tends toward red cherry, earth, and subtle spice, with the acidity and tannin structure that defines fine Burgundy.
