A half bottle of this wine to accompany dinner at Corduroy (second floor of Sheraton Four Points Hotel on K St. NW, DC) during restaurant week dinner. Am I lucky or not. Didn't even realize my visit to DC coincided with restaurant week where you have access to all kinds of specials at lunch and dinner around town.
I did the three-course dinner ($30 excluding beverage) choosing as first course the parsnip soup with tarragon cream in the center (yummy!), second course of sea bass with green beans, and third course of cocoa ice cream with two blackberries. (Chassagne-Montrachet tastes lousy with cocoa ice cream BTW). The wine went beatifully with the pureed parsnip and tarragon cream soup and quite well with the bass.

This was my third Chassagne Montrachet from Jean Marc Morey, each from a different vineyard. I like his style. I was concerned when I saw the vintage (2003) which was not listed on the wine list, but it came out okay in the terribly hot summer. Pale gold color. Nose of paraffin, vanilla and white fruits. Flavors of light vanillin, minerals and white peach. Slight smoky touch. Medium bodied with a rather lengthy finish. I prefer the Jean Marc Morey C-M "Chenevottes" which had a slight butterscotch flavor rather than the vanillin, but this was good. The wine perhaps was not quite as mineral-driven as other vintages, but not flabby either. Some silken softness caressed the palate.
