Undergoing traditional vinification and 12 months of ageing in oak barrels, this wine unfurls with a rich complexity of flavours, from orchard fruits to striking mineral undertones and traces of well-integrated oak. Niellon's mastery shines through in the prolongated, well-structured finish and exceptional depth of flavour. Indeed, the Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumees 2018 is a sensational representation of both Niellon's elite craftsmanship and the remarkable quality of Burgundian terroir.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)
An attractive mid lemon colour. The nose is a little more backward, but the palate delivers impressive tension along with the usual complete mouthful of the purest white fruit. Tension pursues all the way through and the ripeness is perfect. This is not the most fruit forward of Chaumées I have tasted here, but has all the qualities for ageing well. Drink from 2028-2034.In Bond£598.00
