There may not be a more influential producer in Chassagne championing their region as a red region than the Niellons. Within the family, there is no greater champion than Lucy Niellon, daughter of winemaker Michel Coutoux, who has been making their reds with increasing precision since she took over a few vintages ago. Lucy makes this village level parcel, a blend of three parcels from along the border of Santenay just a touch under the 1er Cru Clos Tavannes on the slope.
Wine Advocate: 89 Points
Aromas of sweet red berries, raw cocoa, licorice and spices introduce Niellon's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, a medium-bodied, lively and charming wine with melting tannins and tangy acids. This has turned out very well. (WK)
Burghound: 89 Points
Whiffs of menthol and wood surround the peppery and spicy red and dark berry fruit aromas. There is very good volume and punch to the medium weight flavors that possess more supporting structure than usual on the nicely complex and persistent finish that exhibits only a trace of rusticity. This is a quality Chassagne villages.
