The Amiot family Domaine with Prune in charge of viticulture and winemaking is in full flight and becoming more respected each and every year. The organically grown grapes and the rigorous control, with only perfectly ripened, pristine grapes being used, the small plot by plot vinification, the diligent and judicious use of whole-bunches and 18 months oak ageing all play a part. The sum of the parts gives superb and tightly packed, filigreed red burgundies; indeed, some of the very finest in the region. Despite such perfected measures, the whole still somehow ends up being more than these perfected parts. 

Prune is not shy of using new oak: 30% - 50% in these three 1er crus we typically import. She is obsessed with cleanliness, and the family now has a brand new fermentation and ageing cellar meaning the wines now get moved more gently and great care can be taken overall. They are truly great, classic burgundies.

Cheers, Randall.  

“This is a Chambolle-Musigny estate to keep an eye on. I’ve been visiting for over a decade now and always felt there was untapped potential, mainly because, despite enviable holdings, their winery was outdated and definitely short of space. That is all being addressed with the construction of a new winery building at the entrance of Chambolle that was used to vinify the 2022s. Though the 2021s were vinified in the old winery, the new facility afforded Prue and Antoine Amiot-Servelle more space, which meant that the barrels did not have to be racked downstairs. I notice the difference in their wines already. They feel calmer, more harmonious… This is a very promising set of wines, given the challenges of the vintage, and they should be rightly proud” - Neal Martin, Vinous
