Bâtard-Montrachet Michel Niellon 2023 hails from the esteemed Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru. Michel Niellon crafts this wine from small holdings encompassing just 7.5ha hectares of vineyards. The intensity of this vintage stems from low yields and the age of the vines. The 2023 vintage showcases a complex structure with a balanced combination of minerality and acidity. Niellon`s dedicated work ensures a pure, concentrated representation of this distinguished vineyard.
Vinous
There are three barrels of the 2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, whose vines were replanted in 2020 after being pulled up in 2015. Half the bunches were taken off in July before véraison to control vigor, and the pH is a little higher than other cuvées. There is some reduction on the nose, but you can feel the nascent energy. The palate is well-balanced with a richer, slightly more viscous texture than the Chevalier-Montrachet, powerful and long with a dash of spice on the finish. Of course, this is the opening chapter of the vineyard, and you can feel that it's not full power, but it represents a promising return. Neal Martin17th July 2024
