FEATURES
🏰【A true essence of Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, this Michel Niellon 2021 showcases the vintage's elegance and vibrancy】. The 2021 vintage was challenging for Burgundy, with less than half a harvest, yet Michel Niellon's offering demonstrates surprising quality. Compared to 2020, the 2021 is lighter, crisper, and more approachable earlier, with no signs of under-ripeness. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, then transferred to small oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging, with bâtonnage used sparingly.
Expect a 【golden lemon-yellow color, with succulent flavors of juicy peach, fresh pears, exotic fruits, and bright citrus】. The palate is concentrated and vibrant, leading to a lemon zest finish. It also offers aromas of ripe pear, crushed stones, and a hint of honeysuckle, with layers of citrus, white peach, and subtle almond, balanced by vibrant minerality, a silky texture, and well-integrated acidity, culminating in a harmonious and lingering finish.
🍴 Pairs well with roasted scallops, lobster, poultry in creamy sauces, or aged hard cheeses.
🥂 Ideal for sophisticated dinners, celebrations, or special moments shared with loved ones.
