Niellon Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie 2017 (750ML)

94 WS / 17 JR

Plush, evoking butterscotch, vanilla, clove and nutmeg top notes wrapped around a core of peach and apple flavors. Firms up on the finish, but a year or two in bottle should help this find equilibrium. A smoky mineral element adds depth. Best from 2021 through 2027. 100 cases imported. — BS Wine Spectator

Rather old-fashioned and almost artless – in a good way. Straightforward, backward and tight but not austere, with the promise of much to come. Chewy end. Jancis Robinson
