2018 Domaine Michel Niellon Chassagne Montrachet Rouge

Village Level Red Burgundy - Pinot Noir. Chassagne Rouge in the right hands is fantastic value. Niellon has three parcels totaling 1.5 hectares.Ripe, poached cherries with sweet spice. The palate is firm with a strong structure wrapped in wild berries. | “From Battaudes, Concis des Champs, Mouchottes, which are all clearly red wine terroirs. Amazing depth of colour, red and lively, with a marvellous succulent pinot nose, backed by adequate freshness on the palate. Fills the mouth, fair persistence, nutty notes in with the glamorous red fruit. Very good.” 88 points, Inside Burgundy: Jasper Morris | “Bursting with aromas of spiced cherries, plums and loamy soil, Niellon’s 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, built around ripe but youthfully chewy tannins cloaked in a fleshy core of fruit. One of the Côte de Beaune’s values, it is well worth seeking out.” 89 Points, William Kelley: The Wine Advocate
