I just had the pleasure to attend the Wine Spectator Grand Tasting in New York City!  Over the course of the night, I was able to taste dozens of wines from amazing producers.  First Growth Bordeaux, big name Super Tuscans, legendary California Cults, Grand Cru Champagne, and the list goes on...

One of the highlights from the entire tasting for me was Michel Niellon's Chassagne Montrachet. They were proudly pouring the 2008 Premier Cru from La Maltroie vineyard.  What a treat! The 2008 White Burgundies are among my favorites right now to drink, and the 2008 Michel Niellon Chassagne Montrachet La Maltroie is no exception. Full of honeyed pear on the nose, the palate opens with great acidity, fruit and oak - all in perfect balance. Great length and overall amazing value for Premier Cru Burgundy. This is a producer to keep on the lookout for, as their wines are always excellent quality at very reasonable prices.

This particular white is one to seek out, and with only 100 cases imported, that won't be too easy. Grab some while you can and ENJOY!
