DECANTER 96 POINTS: "Complex nose of lime peel, green apple, mineral and flint. The texture is intensely fresh, but there is a marvellous old-vine richness as well that lends density and length. Definitely near grand cru quality. Niellon has a half-hectare of century-old vines here at the top of the slope just before St-Aubin. In the words of winemaker Lucie Coutoux, these old vines can give you some very good surprises. She crushes the grapes lightly before pressing them slowly, then starting the fermentation in tank before running them into cask to finish."

Michel Niellon 2017 Chassagne Montrachet Les Chaumees
Lovely spice and citron bouquet. Absolutely precise and delicious with generous ripe fruit and a very long, mouthwatering finish. One of the best white Burgs I've had in some time. Drinking surprisingly well now, but has a great structure for further development over the next 3-4 years.
