Niellon, chassagne Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru, 2012
🏰 The 2012 vintage in Burgundy was generally considered a good year for white wines, yielding concentrated wines with good acidity despite lower production. Domaine Michel Niellon is a highly respected producer in Chassagne-Montrachet, celebrated for crafting classic, age-worthy white Burgundies. Les Chenevottes is a well-regarded Premier Cru vineyard, and this wine offers the 【elegant aging potential of a classic Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru】.
This Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Chenevottes' 2012 is expected to display a complex bouquet of white peach, spiced pear, preserved lemon, and subtle wood spice. On the palate, it should be round and intense with driving acidity, offering a balance of fruitiness and a grapefruit cut to the finish. With further aging, it may develop notes of bruised fruits, indicating its graceful evolution.
🥂 An excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal, or for collectors looking to enjoy a mature white Burgundy. This wine has already benefited from a period of cellar aging.
🍴 It pairs wonderfully with rich fish like salmon or tuna, pasta dishes, and mild and soft cheeses. Also consider roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes, or truffle-infused cuisine.
