Amiot Guy et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Macherelles 2007
'The Amiot 2007 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Macherelles displays maritime brininess – along with lemon oil pungency – already in its nose. With a sense of density that several wines in this collection lack, it saturates the palate citrus oil and nut oil flavors, and steers clear of austerity thanks to the brightness of its citricity and the invigoration of its salinity, both of which moved me to canine salivation. This well-concentrated Chassagne cru will certainly be worth following for 3-5 years, and I would not be surprised if it eventually gains both some charm and further complexity.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Dec 2009)

Amiot Guy et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers 2007
‘The largely old-vines 2007 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers is another one of those toasty-, woody-smelling Amiot wines. On the palate, there is a slight sense milkiness as well as of toasted oak, and while there are also an attractively bright citric character, fresh apple, and a deep toasted nuttiness that seeks rapprochement with the barrel, this sleekly-textured, well concentrated wine will deserve re-assessment in 2010 to see how it knits. I would tentatively anticipate its being worth following for several more years thereafter.’ - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 89/100 (Dec 2009)
