Burgundy 2012 Day 4: Visit to Domaine Guy Amiot (Chassagne-Montrachet): Pretty good stuff. This was probably one of the simpler wines on the day, but it was really delicious. It had a nice little nose, with sweet layers of honey, pineapples and mango. I found the palate really integrated, with smoky mineral notes floating around lemons and limes on a very full attack, before the wine opened up into midpalate full of delicious ripe pineapples notes lined with clean acidity. Lovely long finish too, very silkily textured as the glided away with slightly smokey mineral and spice notes. Simpler maybe, but yummy nonetheless. A good wine, very welcoming even at this stage in its development.
