Christian Amiot's '97s, from thick-skinned, very ripe grapes, were racked only for the bottling last January and February and have turned out very well. They appear to be best suited for drinking on the early side but should give considerable pleasure. Amiot's '98s were actually chaptalized less than the '97s, and despite the fact that they were racked prior to the '99 harvest, they are developing slowly.

Christian Amiot has managed the neat trick of making unusually fleshy 1997 Chambolles that retain sappy freshness and considerable vineyard character. At the time of my November visit, Amiot planned to bottle his '97s in January, a good four months earlier than usual. The wines were only to have been racked just prior to the bottling. These wines should give early pleasure but also have the material and balance for mid term aging. Amiot more structured and ageworthy '96s have turned out very well indeed--in fact, I underestimated these wines when I tasted them from barrel a year ago.
