The Domaine Michel Niellon Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru appears a golden yellow color in the glass. The nose is mineral-driven and somewhat shy. The palate reveals pronounced minerality with ripe, rich fruit flavors. Powerful and impressively concentrated, dry with a complex and persistent finish.
Grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks and near the end of fermentation, the wine is transferred to small oak barrels to ferment dry and complete malolactic fermentation during barrel aging. Batônnage is used sparingly as the wines of Chassagne are already rich.
Aged for 8 to 9 months in 20-30% oak.
A gorgeously fresh, airy and cool nose combines notes of green apple, a panoply of white flowers nuances, wet stone and a pretty array of exotic spice elements, especially jasmine. There is a notably more refined mouthfeel to the tautly muscular and overtly mineral-driven medium weight plus flavors that exhibit focused power on the impressively long, balanced, youthfully austere and very classy finale. This is exceptionally stylish and a wine that should easily reward a decade plus of keeping. Drink: 2031+
