Domaine Leflaive 2003 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Editors' Choice
- $175
As Anne-Claude Leflaive describes it, this wine is all about the complexity of the vineyard’s soil. There is minerality and finesse from the chalk, which gives a structure. And at the same time the ripe fruit seems opulent, with vanilla and spice flavors adding something exotic. Age this wine for at least 5 years.

Domaine Leflaive 2007 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- $260
A powerful wine, showing rich, opulent Chardonnay. The spice and acidity crispen the wine, but leave the powerful fruit in all its glory.

Domaine Leflaive 2003 Clavoillon Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- $113
It’s not so much the fruit but the richness and concentration that mark this wine. Yet it’s not superripe because of the hot 2003 vintage. This wine, with its origins in biodynamically grown grapes, preserves a great purity of fruit as it layers intense almond and citrus flavors over vanilla and yellow fruit tastes. It should age well.

An opulent, weighty wine, packed with lemon fruits, wood caramel sweetness and a delicious tasty character. It is lip-smacking in its ripeness and freshness, the final flavor bringing together acidity and a creamy texture.

Domaine Leflaive 2008 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection

A fine, elegant wine, with balanced toast and acidity, great ripe apricot flavors along with spice from the toast, acidity, citrus and a hint of ginger. Still very young, this pure fruited wine could age over 6–10 years.

Domaine Leflaive 2009 Les Folatieres Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $215
A wine that brings out intense minerality, a tight citric tang and a beautiful structure. With its lime and grapefruit acidity laid over ripe yellow fruits shot through with toast, this is a wine that should age many years, mellowing into an open, generous richness.

Domaine Leflaive 1998 Les Folatieres Premier Cru White (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Online Exclusive
A second release for this stunningly rich wine, which is developing bottle bouquet of creme brulee, caramel, peach pie, macaroon, lemon zest, butter and smoke. Gorgeous in the mouth, still firm and angular but with decadent flavors. Delicious now, rich as sin, a fabulous wine with a long future ahead.

Louis Jadot 2004 Champ Gain Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $61
An intense, complex wine that flows unctuously with rich white fruits, spice, vanilla, some toast and a great depth of flavor. At this stage, the toast is quite dominant, but the rich fruit is on its way up. Like many great white Burgundies, this wine needs to be opened well in advance of drinking.
