2016 Chassagne-Montrachet, La Maltroie, Michel Niellon

TASTING NOTES

"The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Maltroie is a pretty, charming wine that displays attractive aromas of white flowers, hazelnut cream, green pear and a touch of wheat toast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, juicy and vibrant, with a glossy attack and a bright, delicate profile." William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Interim Issue

"There is a whisper of menthol to the pungent aromas of mandarin orange, apple and petrol. The bigger and richer if less well-detailed medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing mouth feel that carries over to the saline-inflected, dry and moderately long finish." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Issue 71

"This is savory, revealing lemon, mineral and anise flavors, backed by vivid acidity. Citrus peel details and a tactile impression mark the finish. Best from 2020 through 2026. 100 cases imported." Wine Spectator

"Bottled. More aromatic than the straight village wine – deep creamy citrus. Full and firm on the palate, very crisp, very direct. Long and well balanced between the depth and the freshness, the oak well integrated." Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com
