2020 Michel Niellon Chassagne Chaumees

Picked on 26th August at13.5% alcohol. A little lemon touch to the colour, then surprising intensity on the palate after a quiet though ripe nose. Some yellow plum notes, a certain sucrosity to finish, perhaps not the most refined of the line up. More unctuous. This is a good wine but for once may not be my favourite in the line-up. 92 points

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière mingles aromas of orange rind and pear with hints of fresh bread, buttered pastry, toasted nuts and dried white flowers in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, bright and ample, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and a chalky finish, it`s a fine success. 94 points
