2015 Guy Amiot Bourgogne Cuvée Flavie

Earlier this year, we had another Guy Amiot, that I blogged about the 2014 Guy Amiot et Fils Bourgogne Chardonnay, which we really enjoyed.
Recently, my husband purchased the 2015 Guy Amiot Bourgogne Cuvée Flavie for us to try. The color of this 2015 Cuvée Flavie is clear gold. It had aromas of white peach, honey and lemon with an overall floral nuance. The flavor was of butter, vanilla, with a spicy acid finish. I sensed a slightly oily mouthfeel.
Fermentation and Aging Method: In order to make this wine, Amiot puts 1/3rd in oak barrels and 2/3rds in stainless steel. They employ bâtonnage and natural malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 12 months and then put in a stainless steel tank in preparation for bottling.
We enjoyed this wine with seared scallops and a fresh salad with pears and candied walnuts.
