New Chassagnes from Niellon - Arriving Soon

Domaine Michel Niellon

A benchmark in Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Michel Niellon remains one of the appellation's most dependable producers for classic white Burgundy. Today, the late Michel Niellon's son-in-law, Michel Coutoux, carries the torch with a consistent output of quality and style. Their house fingerprint is distinctive, with a touch of toasty oak from Saint-Romain's Tonnellerie Gillet marking each cuvée and the wines dependably distinguishing themselves with lovely texture and concentration.

"This is a domaine in fine form today, and as I've written before, readers who have fallen out of touch with the wines are advised to reacquaint themselves with this excellent producer."
-William Kelley

2024 Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet
VM90, JM89
"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."
-Neal Martin

2024 Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes
JM92
"Pale lemon colour. The bouquet has a little extra concentration, firm footed fruit. The white fruit blossoms rather more on the palate, delivering an attracting middle weight Chassagne, extending further at the finish. Drink from 2029-2033."

2024 Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean Blanc
VM94, JM91
"The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru is very aromatic and generous on the nose, with scents of white flowers, mirabelle and light beeswax aromas that blossom in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, with more body and depth than the Maltroie. Really good mineralité in this Clos Saint-Jean, very persistent in the mouth; this is exactly where the vintage excels in the Côte d'Or. Recommended."
-Neal Martin

2024 Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Maltroie
VM92, JM90
"The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroie 1er Cru has a very aromatic and quite floral bouquet, with enticing scents of yellow flower mixed with wild peach and just a hint of acacia in the background. The palate is well balanced with a pleasing texture, a little pithiness coming through, a dash of ginger complementing the dried apricot and orange pith notes. Fine weight on the finish, with more persistence than the Village cru, this should give up to 15 years' drinking pleasure."
-Neal Martin
