Amiot Bonfils

Amiot Bonfils is a small Burgundy domaine based in Chassagne-Montrachet with holdings across the Cote de Beaune, including the prized Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru in the Cote de Nuits. The Amiot family has farmed Burgundian vineyards for generations and produces both red and white wines from premier and grand cru sites. At auction, 146 lots have traded at an average of $365 per bottle, with prices reaching $990 — positioning Amiot Bonfils firmly in Burgundy's upper mid-tier. The Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, a 3.5-hectare appellation in Morey-Saint-Denis shared among several producers, is the domaine's most prestigious holding and accounts for the upper end of the auction price range. Clos Saint-Denis regularly produces wines of impressive aromatic complexity from naturally well-draining, iron-rich soils. Amiot Bonfils tends toward a traditional Burgundy style — moderate new oak, extended elevage, wines that require bottle age to open. The 73 lots catalogued under the Clos Saint-Denis designation at an average of $365 suggest steady collector interest. Buyers drawn to the label typically seek grand cru Burgundy at prices below the most sought-after domaines while accepting limited critical coverage.
