2017 Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Champs Gain, Michel Niellon

TASTING NOTES

"The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Champs Gain is already showing very well, wafting from the glass with pretty aromas of green pear, chamomile, nutmeg, wheat toast and apple. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and bright, with lovely balance and purity, its generous core of fruit underpinned by a lovely line of acid that carries through the nicely delineated finish." William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Interim Issue

"A much more floral-infused nose combines notes of petrol and citrus with those of resin and matchstick. The middle weight flavors are not as concentrated as those of the Maltroie but they're finer with a similarly appealing texture, all wrapped in a notably more complex and persistent finale." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Issue 75

"Bottled. Even more struck-match character here than on the straight village Chassagne but here there’s more fruit at the core to balance. Persistent too." Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com
