Amiot's delicious Montrachet exhibits a floral nose and thrilling flavors of powerful roasted fruits intermingled with deeply toasted minerals and slight notes of sea water. A full-bodied, tightly wound wine that is built to last, I recommend holding this wine for 6-8 years and then enjoying it until 2015.
Amiot made his 1995s in the new cellars he built under his home and courtyard. With prefabricated vaulted and insulated ceilings, he now has the most modern and beautiful cellar for miles around. His '95s, while not blockbusters like his '92s, have the concentrated fruit of this vintage. In particular, they should be noted for good balancing acidity, something not everyone was able to achieve.
This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.
