Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils 2008 Clos des Hospices Dans Les Clos Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
-
$110
This Grand Cru within a Grand Cru is a magnificent, opulent wine. It has all the power of a great white Burgundy, the richness allied to minerality and then given weight by toast, yellow fruits and a pure, straight line of acidity.

William Fèvre 2005 Bougros Bouguerots Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
-
$86
Using the old name for Bougros, this is from the steepest portion of the Bougros vineyard. The pure chalk soil gives it pronounced minerality, and it shows firm structure, with green apples, toast and a very firm, tight character. This wine definitely needs to age; give it 5–8 years.
