The Niellon estate
The Niellon estate is, first and foremost, a family story in Burgundy. Three generations of winegrowers joined together to produce wines of consistent quality, vintage after vintage, despite the capricious climate of recent years and the cruel repetition of destructive storms before the harvest.
Located in Chassagne Montrachet and managed using sustainable farming practices, this domaine de 7.5 Ha is renowned for its great white wines from the Côte de Beaune (Chassagne Montrachet village, Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru les Vergers, Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Les Chaumées, Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Clos Saint Jean, Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Les Chenevottes, Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru La Maltroie, Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Les Champgains, Batard Montrachet, Bourgogne Aligoté, Chevalier Montrachet), as well as for its small production of red wines (Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Clos Saint Jean, Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru La Maltroie, Chassagne Montrachet village), which accounts for one third of the total volumes. If Niellon's wines fly off the shelves so quickly, it is because they always display a unique concentration and longevity, owing to a perfect mastery of the key elements (low yields, old vines, measured chaptalization) — and this at prices that remain affordable in a Burgundy region currently experiencing significant inflation, particularly among its star estates (Leflaive, Comtes Lafon, Coche Dury, Rousseau, etc.).
In the latest news from the estate, the most recent assessments from leading critics such as Michel Bettane and Neal Martin (Robert Parker WA) suggest that the brand-new 2013 vintage is shaping up at Domaine Niellon as a great ageing vintage, combining remarkable freshness with a very beautiful texture. Most promising!
