Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pierre Amiot et Fils (Domaine) 2012

The wine

The flagship cuvée from family domain Pierre Amiot, this Clos de la Roche is the fruit of carefully considered growing. Agriculture here is organic, so there are no herbicides used, and there is minimal intervention in the process. Grass is allowed to grow in the vineyard to encourage competition with the vines and a healthy microbial life.
To craft this grand cru, the domain blended grapes from five Clos de la Roche parcels and matured the wine in casks for 18 months.
This wine has a deep, ruby red colour. Its fresh and flavourful bouquet is expressed through notes of red berry and cherry. It is clean and frank on the palate, lingering at length thanks to a mineral underscore that confers a certain liveliness. We appreciate the structure brought by its tannins, inviting gastronomic pairings with white meat, stuffed mushrooms, or sweet potato mash.
