Guy de Chassey — Nicolas d'Olivet 2019

Nicolas d'Olivet 2019

Guy de Chassey | Millésimé | Vintage 2019

The Nicolas d'Olivet 2019 from Guy de Chassey feels very clear and calm from the start. The golden color matches the style: precise, fresh, without any heaviness.

Aromatically it remains lean and structured with a fine minerality. Plus linden blossom, mirabelle, some almond and a subtle spice. Nothing overdone, but rather a very controlled, well-placed profile.

On the palate it shows lively acidity, yellow fruits and a fine marmalade note, without seeming sweet. Pear, a little apple, a quiet grape tone – everything clean, precise and logically built up. The Pinot Noir gives depth, the Chardonnay keeps everything fresh and taut. No malolactic fermentation, no wood – this keeps the texture clear and direct, supported by five years of rest on the bottle.

A Grand Cru that shows how elegant and mineral 2019 can be.

Tasting Notes

A clear, calm champagne with fine minerality, linden blossom, mirabelle and almond. On the palate lively acidity with yellow fruits and fine marmalade notes, precise and elegant.
