The Montrachet Grand Cru 2019 is a monumental and profoundly layered Chardonnay from a warm yet beautifully balanced vintage. The nose reveals ripe pear, lemon oil, white peach, and acacia blossom, interwoven with crushed limestone and subtle toasted almond. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and expansive, yet defined by a firm mineral spine and vibrant acidity that provide lift and precision. Flavors of citrus zest, orchard fruit, hazelnut, and saline nuances unfold with extraordinary depth and persistence. The texture is rich yet impeccably structured, combining power with finesse. The finish is exceptionally long, resonant, and mineral-driven—an authoritative Montrachet built for decades of evolution.
Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils Description
Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils is a long-established family estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, known for its classical and terroir-focused approach to Côte de Beaune wines. The domaine farms prime parcels across Chassagne, Puligny, and surrounding appellations, emphasizing careful vineyard management and balanced yields. Winemaking is traditional, with fermentation and aging in oak tailored to each site to preserve clarity and structure. While particularly renowned for its white Burgundies, the estate treats Aligoté with equal seriousness when sourced from strong terroirs. The style favors purity, freshness, and age-worthiness over overt richness. Les Bouillottes highlights the potential of Bouzeron’s limestone soils for refined Aligoté.
