2020 Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc

The Niellon family has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 19th century when the family was founded by Michel Niellon’s grandfather, Léon Niellon. In the 1960s, Michel Niellon took over the family business from his father, Marcel Niellon, and continued the tradition of producing exceptional Burgundy wines. The estate has six hectares of vineyards, mainly located in the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation. The vineyards are located at varying altitudes between 200 and 400 metres, which contributes to the unique character of their wines.

Domaine Michel Niellon is characterized by meticulous attention to detail. Both the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay are hand-picked and rigorously selected for quality. The fermentation process is initiated using the natural yeasts present on the grape skins. The wines are matured in French oak barrels, with a portion of new wood (usually 15% to 30%). Malolactic conversion and Sur Lie also take place in these wooden barrels. Domaine Michel Niellon is known for producing high-quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. Their icon, the Bâtard-Montrachet, is highly regarded. In addition, the Chassagne-Montrachet's of these products are known worldwide for their exceptional quality.

One of the Premier Cru domains of the year from Burgundy is Niellon. Classically made chardonnay from Chassagne Montrachet. A domain that has grown into a producer of top wines in the shelter of recent years. The Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a beautiful definition and precision on the nose, hints of dried yellow flowers that complement the citrus fruit, and the oak is well integrated. The taste is very well balanced with a lively, orange peel and mandarin-tinted entrance. It is quite linear and tight, with an almost Puligny-like tension on the finish.
