Domaine Michel Niellon
ドメーヌ・ミシェル・ニーヨン
Four hectares, generations of craft — Chassagne refined to its purest expression
A Chassagne-Montrachet institution founded in the 19th century by Léon Niellon. Michel Niellon began working with his father Marcel in the 1950s, and the family began domaine-bottling in the 1960s, quickly establishing their four-hectare estate as among the village's finest. Since 1991, Michel has shared duties with his son-in-law Michel Coutoux, and grandson Mathieu Bresson has joined in recent years. The domaine practices sustainable viticulture (lutte raisonnée), hand-harvests, and ferments with natural yeasts, combining tradition with careful modernity. Niellon's Chevalier-Montrachet and Chassagne premier crus are especially sought after.
