Les Champgains Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils 2018

The Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champgains of Guy Amiot winery is an elegant and fine white wine, typical expression of the cultivation of Chardonnay in Burgundy. Produced with grapes from vines of over 40 years, it rests 18 months in oak barrels before being bottled. The wine shows a beautiful brilliant straw yellow color with greenish reflections, while in the nose it develops a rich and composite bouquet, floral and fruity with evident notes of honey and ripe yellow fruit. The mouthfeel is harmonious, pleasantly fresh and mineral, with a good structure and persistence. The Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champgains of Guy Amiot is perfect to drink with fish appetizers and fresh goat cheese.

The Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils, now managed by Guy Amiot with the help of his son Thierry, is one of the best domaine de la Côte de Beaune. It is located in Chassagne-Montrachet, a small town with less than 500 inhabitants where some of the best white wines in the world are produced. The first vineyards were acquired in 1920, many of which are located within the Grand Cru Montrachet, one of the most famous appellations of the Côte de Beaune. The new cellar, finished in 1995, is characterized by special elliptical vaults, ideal for the natural maturation of wines, in the limestone rock of "Les Caillerets" hill.
