Chassagne for a song...


2006 Jean Saint Honore Chassagne Montrachet....$37.99
(next lowest price on Wine-Searcher is $42.49 Premium Wine and Spirits)
It is hard to find a Chassagne Montrachet under $50 and this one really shines. Chassagne tends to be riper and fuller bodied than its neighboring Puligny sibling, Chassagne-Montrachet typically expresses a broader texture on the palate, but still possesses the telltale minerality of all great white Burgundies. Ripe peach and juicy green apple, laced with lemon tart. Elegant and poised, the soft and full-bodied palate develops harmoniously and leaves a citrus fruit finish. Pairs well with any white meat, fish, or soft cheeses.
