The red wines on the Amitié list span both halves of the Côte d’Or. The Côte de Nuits is where the most serious reds live — Domaine Amiot et Fils with Grand Cru Clos de la Roche across three parcels, named Vigneron de l’Année 2026 by the Guide Hachette des Vins. Mark Haisma across Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, and Grand Cru Clos Vougeot. Domaine Charlopin-Tissier from Marsannay through Gevrey to the Clos Vougeot Grand Cru in magnum.
On the Côte de Beaune: Le Grappin’s Premier Cru Beaune Boucherottes and Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Fournaux — precise, elegant, old-vine. Buisson-Battault’s Pommard Les Combes from the parcel that borders Premier Cru land by a single vineyard road. The entry point into the whole range is the Charlopin-Tissier Bourgogne Montre-Cul — Gevrey-Chambertin fruit at a Bourgogne price, from a lieu-dit whose name requires explaining at the table.
