Domaine Niellon Michel Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 2020
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.
