Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes from Domaine Niellon Michel is a refined Bourgogne white that captures the finesse and precision of one of the village’s most admired premier cru sites. The 2023 vintage promises the classic balance of richness and freshness that has made Chassagne-Montrachet a benchmark for expressive Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
Pale golden in the glass, this wine is expected to show a bright, polished profile with aromas of citrus, white flowers, ripe orchard fruit, and a subtle mineral edge. With air, notes of stone fruit, toasted nuts, and a gentle buttery nuance may emerge, adding depth without obscuring the wine’s clarity. On the palate, it should be elegant and layered, combining a supple texture with lively acidity and a long, clean finish. Les Chenevottes often brings a graceful, finely etched style, making this a wine that can be enjoyed young for its vibrancy but also has the structure to develop additional complexity over several years.
