The Ampeau family have been skilled winegrowers for generations - for them, wine is a question of passion and considered an art form. Wines from Domaine Robert Ampeau are not released for sale to the public until they are deemed ready for consumption - this aligns with Robert's ethos of showing respect for their product. Despite this practice, the wines released for sale are still notable for their youth & clarity. Being very difficult to find old vintages of Burgundy these days, Ampeau's logic offers some of the greatest Burgundian drinking experiences without the long wait. Exhibiting mature aromas & flavors, the nose is spicy & earthy with exotic spices & herbal scents coming to mind. On the palate, rich dark plums & sour cherry flavors emerge amidst a backdrop of soft & velvety tannins, a delicate texture, and a good acid bite at the finish. Inviting aromas & a solidly structured palate with dark berry fruit & earthy undertones punctuated by fine tannins & a balanced acidity that has softened quite a bit with extensive time in the bottle.
