2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Maltroie Michel Niellon, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Maltroie, Michel Niellon

Aromas of fresh pear, toasted bread, peach and nutmeg introduce Niellon's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Maltroie, a medium to full-bodied, elegantly satiny wine that's pure, precise and delicately chalky, with fine depth at the core and a nicely defined finish. - William Kelley, Jan. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Maltroie, Michel Niellon

A ripe but cool nose combines smoky notes of pear, citrus and pretty floral wisps trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is a bit more size and weight as well as a light minerality to the medium-bodied flavors where the minerality adds a sense of lift to the sappy and attractively textured finale that is refreshingly dry. This isn't especially dense, but I like the detail, balance and vibrancy. - Allen Meadows, June 2020
