Michel Niellon is one of the most revered producers in the Côte de Beaune. Operating out of tiny cellars in Chassagne-Montrachet, Michel and his son-in-law produce spectacular wines with just 6 hectares of old, low-yielding vines. Many would argue that their Bâtard-Montrachet is the jewel in the crown, with the 1996 coming from a parcel of just a few rows of vines around 50 years in age. It is rich, voluminous and powerful, offering up mature notes of honey-drizzled orchard fruits, dried apricot, citrus peel, almond paste and buttery pastry. Approaching its peak and perfectly ready to drink, this will perhaps not benefit from further cellaring.
More reticent yet even more complex nose hints at spice, peach, lime and licorice; shows amazing purity for a young Batard. Sweeter and fatter than the Chevalier; extraordinarily tactile and thick. Great expanding finish. A showstopper.
