Wine Critic Reviews:
This white starts out with plenty of flesh, featuring apricot and lime flavors, with a hint of the sea, before firming up and revealing a racy side as this winds down on the long finish. Shows plenty in reserve and a lot of energy. Drink now through 2027. 80 cases imported.

| Country | France: Words fail us when trying to adequately portray France's place in the world of wine. It's downright impossible to imagine what wine would feel and taste like had it not been for France's many, many viticultural pioneers. Fine wine is the blood of France's vigorously beating heart, and it finds itself in many aspects of French culture. With a viticultural history that dates all the way back to the 6th century BC, France now enjoys its position as the most famous and reputable wine region on the planet. If you have a burning passion for masterfully crafted, mouth-watering, mind-expanding wines, then regular visits to France are probably already in your schedule, and for a good reason. |
| Producer | Niellon: While they can easily be considered just an upstart in terms of their history, the creative visionaries behind Domaine Michel Niellon have managed to develop an amazing formula for success. It all starts and ends with their delicious white, a wine potent enough to crumble mountains but refreshing enough to sustain you through a desert trip. They're one of the best-established producers in Chassagne-Montrachet, and they're not showing signs of slowing down. Investing in their brand might prove profitable soon if it isn't already. The flavor profile is diverse and delicious, with a lot of perfectly ripe fruit on offer, and layers upon layers of contrasting aromas. From the garden flowers to the toasted nuts for warmth, you'll fall in love with at least one of the ingredients. |
