Michel Niellon farms a small holding in Chevalier-Montrachet, Puligny’s highest Grand Cru. The 2020 vintage was sunny yet balanced, yielding a Chardonnay of both volume and precision.

Fermented and aged in barrel with limited new oak, it’s a layered, mineral wine that shows the site’s signature lift and length. Grand Cru concentration without excess weight.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 97
"An overtly floral-suffused nose speaks of the ripe essence of white peach, passion fruit, anise, exotic Asian-style tea and in particularly jasmine, tangerine rind and a hint of wood influence. There is exceptionally good density to the palate staining big-bodied flavors that exhibit impressive power on the muscular and overtly mineral-driven finale which offers massive length on the ever-so-slightly warm finale. This very serious effort is a classic Chevalier of class and grace and it's also a wine that I could still taste 24 hours later. It will be hard to find but worth it as this is one of the wines of the vintage. In a word, brilliant."

"The 2020 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of confit citrus, pear, freshly baked bread, hazelnuts, pastry cream and white flowers. Full-bodied, ample and seamless, it's layered and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, saline finish." -William Kelley
