The Chevalier-Montrachet Michel Niellon 2005 is a Grand Cru white Burgundy crafted from 100% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from the renowned Chevalier-Montrachet vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet. Domaine Michel Niellon, established in the early 20th century, is committed to traditional winemaking techniques that reflect the distinct terroir of their parcels. Fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks, transitioning to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing, with approximately 25-30% new oak used. The 2005 vintage is noted for its concentrated fruit and ageing potential, showcasing a complex aromatic profile with notes of citrus, stone fruit and a mineral backbone.

Musky nose hints at menthol, smoke and peppery spices. Fresh and mineral-driven; not particularly big or concentrated but with good richness and complexity to the flavors of pepper, minerals and white flowers. Finishes firm and classically dry. Niellon seemed to be puzzled by the wine's peppery, spicy note, which he says he also found in the 2004 Chaumees. He has a theory that the source of this element is a new shrub that has appeared in recent years in the woods above the village.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2007
