Bouchard Pere & Fils 2007 Chardonnay (Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $757
From arguably the finest white wine vineyard in Burgundy, this is a powerful wine that shows great weight, but balances that with intense, elegant structure, style and freshness. The flavors are endless and complex, richness combining with the lively character of the vintage. Age for many years.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2004 Le Montrachet Chardonnay (Montrachet)
A great wine from a great vintage for whites, this has vanilla, ripe green fruits and a smoky, mineral character. Ripe and delicious, this brings the richness of honey and the rigor of minerality into balance.

Louis Latour 2006 Chardonnay (Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $400
It’s the complexity that dominates this wine from what is arguably the greatest Chardonnay vineyard in Burgundy. All the fruit elements are wrapped up in a tense, tightly strung structure, and then surrounded by superrichness. Acidity adds to the mix, a pure, green plum fruit character. All in all, a great wine.

Louis Jadot 2006 Chardonnay (Montrachet)
From the grandest of Burgundy’s white vineyards, this Le Montrachet sums up the 2006 white vintage. Its structure, freshness and richness rolls the wine around the mouth, offering citrus, bitter orange and yellow fruit flavors. Toast flavors round the wine, leaving a hugely satisfying aftertaste.

Joseph Drouhin 2004 Marquis de Laguiche Chardonnay (Montrachet)
- Editors' Choice
- $596
This is a beautifully shaped wine that rises from a quiet opening. Muted and slightly closed up at this stage, it opens opulently but with balanced acidity and crispness, as well as richness and restrained power.

Etienne Sauzet 2004 Chardonnay (Montrachet)
- $500
A fine wine that offers power, generosity and also a chalky, mineral character. No wonder Montrachet is seen as the greatest grand cru—it has structure, concentration, delicious fruit and layers of complexity. It also needs to age. To drink this wine now would be more than a shame.

Louis Latour 2009 Chardonnay (Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $440
The grandest of all white Burgundy vineyards, Montrachet has produced a powerful, great wine, with impressive ripe, dense fruit. There is still elegance, a sense of proportion, but the opulence of the Chardonnay here is impossible to resist.

Louis Latour 2008 Chardonnay (Montrachet)
- Online Exclusive
- $385
The potential here is enormous. This is a great wine, powerful and densely textured, at this stage packed with a steely character, but just waiting to unleash its beautifully defined fruit, to break out of the tight structure. Give it at least six years.
