The Côte de Nuits’ Chambolle-Musigny produces wines often described as having finesse, delicacy, charm, and subtlety. Yet, within this framework – one that distinguishes it from neighbouring villages – are differences that are rewarding to know for the Burgundy enthusiast.
After gaining her diploma in oenology, daughter Prune began working at the domaine in 2011. Domaine Amiot-Servelle was established in 1989 through the marriage of Christian Amiot and Elisabeth Servelle. As Chambolle-Musigny specialists, they have won high praise for their sensitive approach to representing its terroirs, following no recipe but adapting closely to the conditions of each vintage, and each vineyard specifically. Some whole clusters are used but only where warranted and for the proportion that works. They have farmed organically since 2003 and been certified since 2008.
For this masterclass we will be fortunate to have with us in Hong Kong Prune Amiot-Servelle and her brother Antoine who has also joined the domaine, who together with Allen Meadows will take us through four different Chambolle-Musigny 1er Crus climats. The selection includes one of the greatest vineyards in all of Burgundy – Les Amoureuses. Taking a close look at these vineyards through the lens of just one producer, but in two contrasting vintages will give us the chance to really hone in on the similarities and differences of these four terroirs.
