Its ideal exposure and natural drainage allow for full ripeness while preserving freshness and mineral tension.

At Domaine Michel Niellon, this terroir translates into a Chardonnay that is luminous, ample and precise, combining aromatic depth, assertive minerality and an elegant, finely detailed texture.
