"The 2011 Maltroie from Domaine Niellon is equally fine, offering up a superb bouquet of lime oil, pear, smoky overtones, a complex base of soil, a touch of leesiness and a discreet base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bdoied and complex, with a wide open attack, a fine core and a long, crisp, vibrant and focused finish that closes with lovely mineral drive and plenty of citrus zest. This is another absolutely superb example of the vintage, but I would give this at least an additional year in the cellar over the Champgains before having at it in earnest. Nevertheless, it will provide a lot of pleasure early on in its lifetime. "
