Domaine Robert Ampeau et Fils Meursault 1er Cru 'La Pièce Sous Le Bois' 1997
Meursault Premier Cru AOC
Loading...
Amongst the steepest and highest vineyards in Meursault, with clay and stony limestone soils, this is exceptional terroir. The Premier Cru was acquired by this legendary domaine in 1973. Finely nuanced and still fresh, the wine has aged gracefully.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

The Story Behind the Bottle
During his lifetime, Robert Ampeau was a Burgundy legend and his wines bought not only by Burgundy lovers but by some of the region’s best-known figures. Those included Aubert de Villaine formerly of DRC and Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy. He was an arch traditionalist, yet also a pioneer, being one of the first to plant cover crops in the vineyard. The domaine has 10 hectares in some of the finest locations – Premiers and Grands Crus – and is renowned for some of the finest wines of Burgundy, never released until Robert believed a wine was ready. No wonder his six cellars were stacked high. His son, Michel, is winemaker now and we are delighted to have secured a handful of mature vintages, still tasting ripe and fresh thanks to the cold cellars.
