About Winery
The roots of Domaine Michel Niellon go back to 1957, when Michel began working alongside his father Marcel in Chassagne-Montrachet. Over the decades, he built a reputation for crafting rich, expressive white Burgundies, introducing estate bottling in the 1960s and expanding vineyard holdings to include prestigious parcels such as Clos Saint-Jean, Les Vergers, and Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru. From an initial 4 hectares, the domaine grew to about 7.5 hectares, two-thirds planted with Chardonnay and the rest with Pinot Noir. Michel’s daughter Françoise and her husband Michel Coutoux later joined, ensuring continuity, and today their children Mathieu and Lucie represent the new generation. Following Michel Niellon’s passing in 2020, the domaine continues to thrive under Coutoux’s guidance, producing wines that balance tradition with modern precision. Known for their whole-bunch pressing, restrained use of new oak (20–25%), and terroir-driven style, Niellon’s wines remain among the most respected in Chassagne-Montrachet and beyond.
