If the Maltroie is Niellon's broad shoulders, this is the domaine's coiled spring. Clos de la Truffiere is Niellon's walled parcel high in Les Chaumees, near the top of the slope on the border with St-Aubin, where thin, rocky red earth and vines topping a century old push the Chardonnay toward tension rather than flesh. The result is a taut, vertical, mineral-driven white with real cut, saline lift, and a long, chiseled finish, the more precise counterpoint to the richer Maltroie. Even in the warm, ripe 2018 vintage, this high, cool site keeps its nerve. From one of Chassagne's most legendary small growers, it's white Burgundy built on drive and finesse.

"Smoky aromas of the essence of white peach are given added breadth with hints of citrus peel and passion fruit. There is fine richness to the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that are at once suave and succulent while offering very good length on the lemon rind-tinged finish. This too should be approachable young thanks to the abundant level of dry extract."

"One wine that's indubitably built for the cellar is Niellon's emblematic 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière. Opening in the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit, Meyer lemon, wheat toast and a subtle touch of reduction, it's medium to full-bodied, textural and incisive, with fine depth at the core, lively acids, and a long, precise finish." —William Kelley

"An opulent style, this white boasts lush flavors of peach, apricot, butter and toasty, spicy elements. It's beautifully balanced, the richness offset by tangy, lime-tinged acidity, with terrific length on the finish. Drink now through 2025."
