Chassagne Montrachet 2024 Domaine Michel Niellon

Avis professionnels

Really heady and a different class on the nose from most of these wines! Unashamed use of top-quality oak. Saline. Very juicy and rewarding, but cool, too. The only Niellon wine most of us could afford in a restaurant? Does deliver though. (I wonder why he sells only in dozens?) (JR)

The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Village is Niellon's largest cuvée, around 20,000 bottles, representing the entire appellation—10 different climats from 15 parcels. This is quite forward on the nose, with perfumed fresh lime scents intermixed with a touch of apricot. It is very… giving. The palate is actually more complex than the nose: fresh and quite edgy, well-integrated oak, nicely focused with a touch of pepperiness towards the finish. Well worth seeking out.

Lucie reports that they are considering making a parcellaire bottling one day, yields permitting. Some of the Chassagne was raised in tank, with 25% new wood for the barrels. Pale lemon. A little more character to the nose, a touch of biscuit from the barrel, middleweight, some flesh and good length.
