It was served a bit too cold, but as it has warmed up, it has opened up and it's quite nice. A touch of earthiness, but also a bit of brightness. — 9 years ago
Very nice, smooth, great with house salad at Nicholas, Paris — 9 years ago

Tres bon. Sucré, acide. Pommes. Tres bon. — 8 years ago
Lovely stuff. Wedged between a chevalier demoiselles and a Corton Charlemagne I was concerned, and this shows very differently but very well. Light, bright, zesty and delicious with a whiff of rock pool, grapefruit and a fresh clarity. Doesn't have the length or intensity of the grand cru's, but has great individuality and held its own. Excellent. — 9 years ago

Rich ... Deep dark tarte tatin flavor — 10 years ago
Surprising finesse for an '05 Languedoc — 10 years ago
So rich I savored every exquisite sip! Deep golden hue. After 18 months in oak it's pure butter smooth, styled more like a Chassagne-Montrachet--opulent! ...& quite different from classic Chablis. From the first pour, the air filled with its luscious bouquet of butter, pineapple & ripe mango...raising the glass one finds pine nuts toasting, pear, and later the buttery-vanilla-apple of a freshly baked tarte tatin coming out of the oven. The palate marries the bouquet--and what a beautiful wedding it is! ;) — 10 years ago
Intense nose -sweet ripe yellow apples (Tarte Tatin), fresh lemon juice & zest, yellow pears, toast, brioche, hazelnuts, white chocolate ... Complex bit still fresh and lively. Terrific value. — 11 years ago
Slope Cellars: "A blend of three vintages, but the bulk of it is 1981. 40% abv. A beautiful colour, rich dark, gold. Viscous in the glass. Lovely perfumed aromas. Spicy prunes on the nose. Very elegant, soft, rich fruit. Gorgeous. Soft, brown sugar. Perfectly ready to drink. Tons of structure and zip and a very long finish. Orange peel note on the finish. Perfect. Orange butter on the nose, like as in crepes. Really aromatic! Cinnamon note on the nose. Great paired with Plumb Tart Tatin." — 11 years ago

Photos of; Domaine Guy Amoit et Fils, their barrel cellar and Guy & Thierry Amiot and a picturesque shot in Chassagne-Montrachet. Producer notes and history...Domaine Amiot was founded in Chassagne-Montrachet in 1920 by Arsene Amiot when he acquired select parcels of vines or “climats” in Chassagne including Vergers, Caillerets, Clos St. Jean and in what is today Le Montrachet. Under Arsene, Domaine Amiot became one of the first Domaines in Burgundy to bottle their own production. In the 1930’s, the domaine passed to Aresene’s son, Pierre, who continued to add top sites such as Champsgains, Macherelles, Maltroie and their tiny parcel in Puligny, Les Demoiselles. Pierre’s son, Guy, took the reins in 1985 and solidified the reputation of the Domaine for producing wines of exceptional quality from an impressive array of top vineyard sites. Guy’s son Thierry took over the winemaking in 2003 and continues the tradition of expressing the unique character of each vineyard site while constantly seeking to improve the quality of the wines. Les Macherelles is located on the farest side of Chassagne-Montrachet close to Puligny-Montrachet. — 8 years ago

A great value Bordeaux small production in biodynamy, 55% Merlot, 30% Carbernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc & 5% Malbec - rich, marked tannins starting very slowly to get more soften, a well balanced wine that need time, a perfect pairing for grilled matured entrecôte 😋👍 - or you can enjoy the second wine Les Demoiselles de Falfas while this one get rounder
