Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru – Domaine Michel Niellon

A Grand Cru of purity, tension and crystalline elegance

Terroir

Located on the upper slope of Puligny-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet sits on extremely stony, limestone-rich, poor and highly draining soils. This altitude and the sheer minerality of the site imbue the Chardonnay with remarkable verticality, natural tension and an incomparable aromatic brilliance.

Under the interpretation of Michel Niellon, this majestic terroir yields a noble, pure and structured white wine, defined by timeless elegance and perfectly controlled intensity.

Long, vertical and saline, with crystalline persistence and masterful purity.
