Medium-bodied and bright, this wine boasts a satiny attack that transitions into a deep, vibrant core, culminating in a chalky finish that lingers beautifully.

Its distinctive house style is marked by a touch of toasty oak from Saint-Romain’s Tonnellerie Gillet, ensuring each cuvée stands out with its lovely texture and concentration.

Perfect for those seeking a fine Burgundy wine with exceptional balance and aging potential, this bottle is a testament to the legacy of Michel Niellon, now expertly carried forward by his son-in-law, Michel Coutoux.
