Domaine Michel Niellon is a well-regarded wine producer in Burgundy, particularly known for its wines from the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation. The estate has been family-owned and operated for several generations, and today, Michel Niellon works alongside his son-in-law, Mathieu Bresson. This particular release is sourced from the prestigious Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard, which is situated within the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. The 2009 growing season provided favourable conditions, with a warm summer and good ripening conditions for the grapes. The wines from the 2009 vintage tend to be ripe and expressive, with a good balance between fruit and acidity.

Vinous
Reticent, serious nose offers wet stone, clove and a medicinal menthol quality; fruit in the deep background here. Then dense, tactile and stony on the palate, with penetrating, high-pitched flavors of lavender, minerals and yellow plum. Impressively mineral and floral for the year, this excellent, refined, very young grand cru will need time in bottle to expand. A triumph of terroir over vintage here.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2011
