Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées Domaine Niellon Michel, 2023

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées from Domaine Niellon Michel is a classic white Burgundy with the depth, precision, and mineral drive that make this appellation so highly sought after. Sourced from one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most respected premier cru sites, it reflects the elegance of the village while carrying the richness and tension collectors look for in top Côte de Beaune whites.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright pale gold color with a lively sheen. The nose is refined and layered, with notes of citrus blossom, ripe orchard fruit, white peach, hazelnut, and a subtle flinty mineral character that adds complexity. On the palate, it is expected to balance generosity with freshness, offering a creamy mid-palate, precise acidity, and a long, saline finish. The 2023 vintage should bring excellent energy and early charm, while still having the structure to develop additional nuance with a few years of cellaring.

Production
Les Chaumées is a premier cru vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet, where limestone-rich soils and a well-exposed site contribute both ripeness and tension to the wine. Domaine Niellon Michel is known for careful vineyard work and restrained winemaking, typically focusing on preserving the purity of the fruit and the signature minerality of the terroir through gentle pressing and thoughtful élevage.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, buttery poultry dishes, veal in cream sauce, lobster, scallops, and fine white fish. It is best served slightly cool, around 10–12°C, and will benefit from a short period of air in the glass; decanting is not essential, but can be helpful if opened young.
