Wine for sale: AMI (Willy Roulendes et Paul Perarnau)

AMI (Willy Roulendes et Paul Perarnau)

Born out of the friendship between Paul Perarnau and Willy Roulendes, Domaine AMI breaks Burgundian rules. A favourite of ours to follow closely.

After moving to Burgundy, Paul Perarnau and Willy Roulendes sealed their friendship forever when they founded Domaine AMI.
After graduating in viticulture and oenology, Willy decided to learn from the best. This led him to the Domaine de Montille near Volnay. During this period, he discovered and fully embraced the strict principles of biodynamic practices. He then headed to Auxey-Duresses to hone his already polished skills by working at Clos du Moulin aux Moines.
Meanwhile, after a spell in England working for an importer, Paul returned to France and headed for Provence, to work at the renowned Dominique Hauvette’s estate. He completed his training with three years in Champagne, where he worked in Bruno Paillard’s vineyard.
The pair who became friends when they met at the Clos du Moulin aux Moines decided to create their own domain, which now boasts fives hectares of vines. The entire operation is organic, with no chemical fertilisers or additives. What’s more, the estate’s trading business has been developed on this time. This allows the winemaking duo to expertly harness all the nuances of the Burgundian terroir.
