Description
Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes is situated not far from Clos Saint Denis and Clos de la Roche, on the northern side of the village of Morey-Saint-Denis.
Morey-Saint-Denis is found between Chambolle-Musigny to the south and Gevrey-Chambertin to the north. It was given it’s own A.O.C. status in 1936 which was an important step for the consumer because it does have it’s own general characteristics separate from Chambolle and Gevrey and the status has of course allowed the village of Morey-Saint-Denis to become more prosperous, facilitating the ability to create great wines here.
Ten Generations of Burgundy Winemaking in the Heart of Morey-Saint-Denis – About Domaine Amiot et Fils
Domaine Amiot et Fils is a family-run Burgundy estate with roots stretching back to 1702, now in its eleventh generation under the stewardship of Léon Amiot. Based in Morey-Saint-Denis — a premier terroir for Pinot Noir on the Côte de Nuits — the domaine spans five hectares from Gevrey-Chambertin to Chambolle-Musigny, producing a full range of Burgundian appellations including two Grand Crus. The three roses on their label carry the motto “Sans varier” — a quiet pledge to express the excellence of their terroir without compromise.
In the vineyard and cellar alike, tradition and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. Grapes are farmed using sustainable practices certified for High Environmental Value (HVE), with ongoing experiments in biodynamics and agroforestry. Harvested by hand and vinified using indigenous yeasts, the wines are aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months, resulting in elegant, structured reds with silky tannins and a nose of red and black fruits — wines, as the family puts it, that are faithful to their origins.
