Winemaking
The vines thrive at around 250 meters above sea level on limestone-rich soils interspersed with rock, marl, red silt, and gravel. Their east and southeast orientation allows for optimal exposure to the morning sun. The "Clos Solon" parcels particularly benefit from deep soils with a high marl content, which enhances the wine's fruit expression and finesse. In contrast, the gravelly soils of «Bas Cheneverys» provide structure and power. Sustainable cultivation methods, such as vegetative ground cover in «Clos Solon» and the use of natural fertilizers in Porroux, aim to highlight the depth of the terroir and regulate the vineyard's microclimate. Vinification is tailored to the conditions of each vintage, with gentle fermentation designed to preserve the wine’s fruit character and elegance. The wine then matures for 16 to 18 months in oak barrels.
Our tasting note
Brilliant ruby-red color. On the nose, it reveals the typical aromas of the Côte de Nuits: delicate notes of small red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, subtly underscored by a hint of violet. On the palate, it impresses with a perfect balance of roundness, vibrant acidity, and fine-grained tannins. It comes across as an elegant and generous wine, with pronounced retro-olfactory fruit, remarkable length, and a full-bodied, lingering finish.
Amiot et Fils
The Amiot family has been dedicated to viticulture and the art of winemaking for over ten generations. Pierre significantly shaped the estate by designing the first bottle label in 1976, giving it a distinctive identity. Since the 1980s, his son Jean-Louis has continued this tradition with passion and expertise. He is supported by his wife Chantal and their son Léon, who will follow in his footsteps. Domaine Amiot et Fils, located in Morey-Saint-Denis, spans 5 hectares, from Gevrey-Chambertin to Chambolle-Musigny. The estate offers a complete range of Burgundy's four appellation levels, from «Apellation régionale» to «Grand Cru».
