Amiot Morey-St-Denis 1er “Charmes” 19

The Domaine Pierre Amiot is an old school Burgundy estate based in Morey-St-Denis. They’ve just welcomed the 6th generation into the business, and year after year turn out humbly delicious red Burgundies. Their 2019s are terrific, with gorgeous textures and excellent aging potential.

“Aux Charmes” is usually the leanest of the Amiots’ premier crus, but in 2019 it offers both density and intensity. Ripe fruit aromas dominate the nose and the dark black currant fruit persists on the palate. There’s an earthiness in there too, and good underlying structure.
