Domaine Michel Niellon Clos de la Maltroie - Chassagne-Montrachet - White - 2023 :

 

The Noble Red of Chassagne-Montrachet: Clos de la Maltroie

From the esteemed cellars of Domaine Michel Niellon, this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Clos de la Maltroie' Red is an elegant and profound Pinot Noir. It captures the essence of its Premier Cru *climat*, offering a structured yet graceful drinking experience that epitomises fine red Burgundy.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Luminous ruby hue.
• Aroma: A highly complex bouquet of redcurrant, Morello cherry, and a signature Burgundian earthiness, complemented by evolving notes of leather, damp soil, and delicate clove spice.
• Mouthfeel: Elegantly structured with polished, persistent tannins. The fresh acidity and saline minerality provide a perfect counterpoint to the concentrated fruit, ensuring longevity and great complexity.

Food Pairing & Service

Serve slightly cool at 16°C (60°F) after allowing it to breathe. A truly luxurious match for traditional British fare.

• Pairings: Slow-braised Lamb Shanks, classic Game Pie (Venison or Partridge), or a platter of mature, hard cheeses like aged Cheddar.
• Longevity: Ready to drink now with decanting, but will reward cellaring for up to 15 years.
