Michel Niellon operates out of two absurdly small cellars in Chassagne, producing quite simply sublime wines. He has only 6 hectares of vines, which include small holdings in Chevalier and Bâtard-Montrachet. Old vines and low yields give these wines their intensity, along with Niellon`s supreme winemaking skills.
Supply is severely rationed due to the small size of the domaine and Niellon`s huge following in the United States. But, for those lucky enough to secure some bottles, the rewards are immense.
Fine pale colour, vey classy nose with an almost Puligny-style steeliness. Fresh apple, but clearly ripe fruit nonetheless, it is very engaging, with lovely concentration. Mostly made from old vines but some young too. A very good result in 2013. Jasper Morris, MW - Wine Buyer
Very graceful from the start, with a beautifully elegant nose, revealing unexpected structure towards the end, this will be delicious young but should also keep.
