Les Chetillons is a parcel that has been in Pierre’s family for over 70 years. Pierre, taking over the domaine in 2000 is only the second winemaker to bottle a wine solely from Les Chetillons. He did this because he found this site achieved the purest expression of the village, Le Mesnil.
This parcel sits directly on chalk, no clay or anything else. Along with chalk soils, there are old vines that extend down 10 meters into the soil. For Pierre, terroir is directly linked to the vigor of the root system and soil.
Since 2000, Pierre Amillet, has continued his family’s vision: to bring out the terroir of Le Mesnils as authentically as possible, working organically and strengthening the natural microcosm of the vineyard.
