Producer Information

Domaine Pierre Amiot et Fils (now labeled Didier and Jean-Lous Amiot) is a wine producer based in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy's Côte d'Or heartland. The estate makes a range of labels – predominantly red wines from local staple Pinot Noir – from a number of vineyard holdings in Morey and the surrounding area. The domaine has been producing wines for five generations with Jean-Lous Amiot and younger brother Didier taking over the estate from their father, Pierre, in the 1980s and 90s. Vineyard holdings span eight hectares (nearly 20 acres) across Morey-Saint-Denis and neighboring Gevrey-Chambertin. The range is headed-up by two grand cru labels: Morey's Clos de la Roche and Charmes-Chambertin in Gevrey. Premier cru holdings in Morey include Aux Charmes, Les Blanchards, Les Millandes and Les Ruchots as well as the Les Combottes in Gevrey. The range also includse two standard, "village" Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin wines as well as a Morey-Saint-Denis blanc (from 0.17 hectares/ 0.42 acres of Chardonnay in the center of the village) and a Bourgogne Aligoté and a Bourgogne rouge. Grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed (70 to 100 percent, depending on the vintage) with fermentation preceded by a cold soak of between five to seven days. Fermentation is by indigenous yeasts with 15 to 18 months aging in oak barriques (50 percent new oak for the grands crus and 30 percent new oak for the premiers crus) prior to bottling.
