Michel Niellon, who claimed that the 2008 harvest brought healthy grapes in his vineyards, describes the wines as having less acidity than the 2007s, and less ampleur than the '06s. They're also more floral than the 2007s, which he described as more linear and severe. Just a few of the 2008s here had finished their malos at the end of May. This was one of several addresses, mostly in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, where I worried about the future of wines that might have to be bottled a scant two or three months after the end of their malos.
