Domaine Robert Ampeau Special

Domaine Robert Ampeau

The wines of Domaine Robert Ampeau are the perfect introduction for Corkscrew customers into the fascinating journey that wine makes on its evolution to maturity. Furthermore, they are the quintessence of perfect provenance in shipping and storing wine: without the proper care in the cellar and along the supply chain, these delicate treasures lose their subtlety, nuance and complexity.

By the time the doors of the Corkscrew opened in 1996, Michel Ampeau had already been running the domaine for his father Robert for a good ten years. He changed virtually nothing in the vineyards and the cellar, keeping the traditional ways of his family, including aging over half a million bottles in their cold, dark cellars in Meursault.

The true magic of the Ampeau wines is not only the extraordinary quality of their wines when young, but that the family takes on the extra cost of storing the wines and releasing them late, mature and drinking gorgeously.

Unfortunately, we have sold out of the 2001 Volnay-Santenots.
