Wine Expert Note:

This premier cru from Domaine Michel Niellon is a stunning example of Chassagne-Montrachet. The nose is filled with aromas of honeysuckle, white flowers, lemon zest, and wet stones.

This is a wine of great depth and complexity, with an impressive balance of richness and freshness.
