Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils Santenay Vieille Vignes Blanc

The palate is fresh, mineral, and quietly expressive, opening with pear, white peach, and lemon zest. The fruit feels clean and lifted, shaped by the cool 2021 vintage and the old‑vine concentration. A mid‑palate of stonefruit, citrus cream, and a touch of almond adds gentle roundness, while the oak sits in the background as a soft pastry warmth rather than a dominant flavour. The wine carries a clear line of chalky tension, giving it precision and drive. As it opens, a subtle saline edge and hints of wet stone emerge, adding depth and savoury nuance. The finish is long, bright, and lightly mineral, tapering with notes of lemon pith, peach skin, and a faint herbal echo. Overall, it’s a focused, mineral, quietly elegant Santenay Blanc — very much in the Amiot style, with a whisper of Puligny‑like finesse.
