Niellon Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2009 bottle - Vins Rare

95 JG

Notes:

John Gilman's View from the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2010
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 09 Btard-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 everyones tastes, but it is a most impressive example in this larger than life style. 95 points.
