2020 Domaine Michel Niellon Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru 'Clos St Jean'

A mineral and petrol based nose with nuances of herbs, mountain grass, ripe pear skin, plum, passionfruit with oodles of detail lifting from the glass. A very restrained and entwined palatewhich is painfullyclosed. The aggressive mineral core is wrapped in citrus oils and puppy fat. Very long and very promising. - Jono Hersey, FWC As was the case in 2017, the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean has turned out especially well this year. Bursting with aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, orange oil and beeswax and framed by a deft touch of reduction, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, its fleshy core of fruit girdled by tangy acids. 94 Points - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
