2022 Domaine Michel Niellon Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
98
Decanter
Review Date: 01/2024A wine of intense concentration, tension and focus, even in the warm conditions of 2022. Aroma notes of ripe apple, peach and quince, then the volume and density you'd expect from 2022, but it's well balanced by the fresh acidity that draws it to a lingering finish. Grapes from Niellon’s plot of old vines are fermented on native yeasts in 40% new cask. This wine is among the best from this vintage and will make old bones if you are so inclined.(CC)

Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "The only parcel of the domaine in Puligny, just below some of the vines of Bouchard, both sides of this parcel are owned by Leflaives – but different ones – and below is Laguiche in Montrachet. One could say ‘well-placed.’ A gift of marriage for Lucie’s great-great grandmother – a nice gift ?? Here the only one with cork – ‘the most expensive.’A smaller nose but one with an inviting vibration of energy. Extra width and mineral energy here – certainly more complex, that’s been softened with a veneer of sweetish barrel – which will, of course fade. I’d love to see this in 10 years – but it’s cork sealed…" (01/2024)
