"The 2009 Niellon Chevalier is again a very ripe and powerful example of the vintage. The bouquet is deep, complex and exuberant in its blend of pineapple, apple, tangerine, chalky minerality, a touch of herbs, citrus peel and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, nascently complex and very long, with a bit more of a primary profile than the â09 Bâtard-Montrachet. The finish is very, very long and beautifully focused, with crisp acids, lovely balance and plenty of backend volume. Again, this style of Chevalier-Montrachet will not be to everyoneâs tastes, but it is a most impressive example in this larger than life style."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
