DOMAINE MICHEL NIELLON Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Chaumees' 2024 CASE x 6 Bottles - PRE-RELEASE

Description

This is an iconic 7.5 hectare domaine and are delighted to have been given an allocation of their impeccable wines. The late Michel Niellon began working with his father in the 1950s and was joined by his son-in-law, Michel Coutoux, in 1991 and grandson, Matthieu Bresson more recently. From their smart, new cellars on the outskirts of the village, they are making some of the finest wines in the Côte de Beaune.

They seek to preserve acidity and are often one of the first growers to begin picking. However, their style remains generous, ripe and concentrated, whilst retaining poise and precision. Fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks and then oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation (25-30% new oak). Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru Les Chaumées 'Clos de la Truffière" is a 0.5 ha plot dating from 1930.

Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy - 4 stars / 94 points
:"Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière loved the wetter year! Mid lemon yellow. There is more flair to the nose, a greater depth of orchard fruit to cover the oak and the structure. The first wine that really fills the mouth here in 2024, while retaining the fresher style of the vintage. There is much more at the finish, accompanied by a light toasting." Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2025."
