Domaine Niellon Michel Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2021
Burgundy wine Clos de la Maltroie
An expressive nose that is very Chassagne offers up notes of red berry fruit, underbrush, humus, damp earth and pepper while leading to fresh, vibrant and nicely detailed middle weight flavors that are relatively forward, indeed this could be drunk now with enjoyment. A Chassagne of finesse.

"Here too there is discreet but discernible dollop of wood on the spicier and more elegant aromas of black pinot fruit, earth and floral suggestions. The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex. This is also very good and worth checking out.

A very pungent nose speaks only of reduction and wood. Otherwise the succulent but more voluminous middle weight plus flavors exude a subtle minerality before concluding in solidly powerful

Bonnes Mares
A distinctly earthy and spicy nose flashes notes of dark cherry, rose petal and raspberry. The much richer and more concentrated big-bodied flavors possess excellent power on the robust, dusty and mouth coating finish
