Domaine Amido
Tavel, Lirac

Southern Rhône Region

"There is no good wine except for Tavel!"
--King Philip le Bel

Christian Amido, who died from complications of a brain aneurysm, was a soft spoken man who had been under his doctor's care since I had gotten to know him in 2001 and, against his doctor's orders, frequently smoked while pulling samples to taste out of various casks. Ironically, in the past three years, he had completed renovated his chai, installing a new press and replacing his cement tanks with a fleet of stainless steel. His domaine was poised to move onto the next level. Domaine Amido is now run by Christian's daughter Nathalie.

The next generation at Domaine Amido arrives:
Christian's granddaughter Amandine (for whom the Tavel is named)
and fiance Antoine (now the winemaker) pose outside their domaine in Tavel.
