Domaine Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers

Tasted 10 December 2020 Côte de Beaune · Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

Improved from the last bottle I had in Spring. Notable energy and speed here, with a perfect lemon-lime zest and Squirt zing that brings a little extra electricity to the delivery. 93-94 points.
