Visit to Michel Niellon in Chassagne-Montrachet.  Michel Niellon himself received us and conducted the tasting.

2009 Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet - lots of vanilla, oak, lemon, floral and sweet.

2009 Michel Niellon Chassange-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Maltroie - more closed initially... oak, vanilla and a bit of white button mushrooms on the nose.  Round and alcoholic on the palate.

2009 Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers - also a little tight on the nose with mineral notes.

2009 Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean Blanc - sweeter nose with vanilla, a bit of minerals, and a little sharpness.
