Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils’ Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean 2023 is a white Burgundy (Chardonnay) from a long-established, family-run estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet since 1920. Today the domaine is led by winemaker Thierry Amiot, with Fabrice Amiot handling development of the brand. Clos Saint-Jean itself sits high on the slope above the village, a premier cru better known for red wine but with a white section that can be particularly compelling.

This 2023 bottling comes from a small, north-east–facing Chardonnay parcel (0.2462 hectares) on clay-limestone soils, with vines reported at around 25 years of age (Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils). The domaine notes an ideal drinking window of about “5–8 years,” while also suggesting the wine can age “10 years” in good conditions (Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils). Alcohol is listed at 13.5% (Vivino). Market pricing is firmly in premier cru territory, with an average listing around $166 per 750ml (Wine-Searcher).

Stylistically, the 2023 Clos Saint-Jean Blanc is positioned as a richer expression of Chassagne. A retailer describes the site’s “lengthy sun exposure” as delivering wines that are “ripe and unctuous” yet still driven by “a racy backbone,” and “richer than other Chassagne wines” (The Cellar d’Or). At the broader domaine level, 2023 whites are framed as combining “freshness” with “flesh” and “clear aromatics” (Domaine Guy Amiot et Fils), a useful shorthand for what buyers typically want from premier cru Chassagne: depth without heaviness.

There are no verified, vintage-specific professional critic scores for the 2023 Clos Saint-Jean within the available material, so it’s difficult to call out “excellent reviews” for this exact bottling. For context only, Burghound’s assessment of the 2020 Clos Saint-Jean Blanc cited “excellent intensity,” “sleek but powerful and dense flavors,” and a “bone-dry” finish (Burghound, via SaratogaWine.com), pointing to a track record of serious structure in this cuvée even as the 2023 leans more generous in feel.
