The Amiot Clos de la Roche 2017 is an exquisite new discovery that displays all the finesse and age-worthy elegance guaranteed to impress true Burgundy connoisseurs. Reminiscent of pricier selections from the adjacent Chambertin vineyard, this Clos de la Roche features bright aromas including lavender and Oolong tea leading into a cornucopia of subtle fruit flavors (raspberry, red apple), baking spices, and firm tannins across a velvety smooth texture. Enjoy now (decanting recommended prior to 2025) through 2030. Highly Recommended! – October 2021

Domaine Pierre Amiot Winery

The Amiots have been making wine in the Cote de Nuits for 5 generations. They practice
low yields in the vineyard (25-35 hectoliters per hectare), lute raisonnée (eliminating,
when possible, the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides), de-stemming and a 20 day
maceration of the berries. The wine is kept on its lees until the one racking just before
bottling. The wines are not fined or filtered. All of this extreme care of the land and
berries along with little to no disturbance of the wine in barrel leads to extremely
smooth wines.

The wines and family are very well regarded in Burgundy, but since they do no publicity
and are uniquely focused on tending their excellent holdings and winemaking, many
have not heard of them or tried their wines before. This is what makes it so exciting to
introduce you to these exquisite, boutique wines!
