Description
”Recognised for the regularity, precision and depth of their Pinot Noirs — a style that combines power, refinement and a very pure reading of the soils of Morey-Saint-Denis

The wine
Morey-Saint-Denis is one of Burgundy’s most compelling villages — sandwiched between the fame of Gevrey-Chambertin to the north and Chambolle-Musigny to the south, it rarely gets the attention its five Grand Crus deserve. For a buyer who knows the village, a Morey-Saint-Denis from a serious producer at the village level is one of the best-value propositions on the Côte de Nuits. For a buyer who doesn’t know it yet, this is an excellent introduction.
Domaine Amiot et Fils has been farming in Morey-Saint-Denis for ten generations — from the village’s earliest vignerons through to Léon Amiot, who produced his first vintage in 2020 and was named Vigneron de l’Année 2026 — Bourgogne by the Guide Hachette des Vins. The village wine is made with the same approach as every wine in the range: hand-harvested, indigenous yeasts, one racking by hand, 16–18 months in oak. Unfined and unfiltered. The philosophy doesn’t change with the appellation level.
The village Morey-Saint-Denis is the natural starting point for someone discovering the domaine. It shows what the house style is — the regularity, precision, and depth of Pinot Noir that the Hachette described as “a very pure reading of the soils of Morey-Saint-Denis” — before moving up the ladder to the Premier Cru Les Millandes, the Premier Cru Les Combottes, and the Grand Cru Clos de la Roche.

Tasting notes
Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, and a hint of earth characteristic of Morey-Saint-Denis. The palate reflects the village’s position between the power of Gevrey to the north and the elegance of Chambolle to the south — a Pinot Noir with real presence and depth without heaviness. Silky tannins, good length, mineral finish. Approachable now — no decanting required, though an hour of air always helps. Drink now through 2030.
Service: 16°C. Roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, soft cheeses.
