Domaine Robert Ampeau et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Clos Du Roi 1996
Beaune Premier Cru AOC
Loading...
Beaune Premier Cru from the legendary Domaine Robert Ampeau, and a wine that despite its remarkable 29 years’ age is still tasting vital and fresh. Forest fruits, delicate spice and fresh minerality, very polished and velvety. Highly recommended.

The Story Behind the Bottle
During his lifetime, Robert Ampeau was a Burgundy legend and his wines were bought not only by Burgundy lovers but also 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 this superb mature vintage, still tasting ripe and fresh thanks to the cold cellars. A red Burgundy to savour.
