Roux Père et Fils 2009 Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)
- $40
With its dry-laid stone walls that look like a dog’s teeth, this strangely named vineyard has produced an almost mineral wine, although with rounded sweet fruits and well-integrated acidity. It will need time to develop its full weight.

Pierre André 2008 Premier Cru Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
A finely balanced wine, bringing together the new wood flavors with structured tropical fruits. Plangent acidity is the binding agent, giving an excitingly refreshing wine with a bright finish.

Morey-Blanc 2007 Premier Cru Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)
- $60
This relishes the ripe softness of Saint-Aubin, giving a wide-open wine with weight. The contrast is with clean-lined green plums and just some spice.

Maison Champy 2008 Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Premier Cru Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)
The piles of rocks taken from the vineyard and heaped around the edge are what give the bizarre name of this vineyard. To taste, the wine is soft, sweetly ripe with an attractive, ripe creamy character, lifted by toast.

Roux Père et Fils 2009 Les Cortons Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)
- $48
Ripe and full bodied, with flavors of toast and white peach. It is round, smooth, with some buttery character and a juicy citrus flavor on the finish.

Roux Père et Fils 2009 La Pucelle Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)
- $30
Rounded, with a great dash of acidity, this lemon- and pineapple-flavored wine has a fine balance of acidity and ripe fruit. It benefited from the cool climate of Saint-Aubin in the warm 2009 conditions.
— R.V.

Olivier Leflaive 2009 En Remilly Premier Cru Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)
Intensely wood-aged wine, with plenty of toast. That doesn’t make the wine any less attractive with its yellow fruit flavors giving weight in the background. In a year’s time, the wood and fruit balance should even out.
— R.V.

Michel Picard 2006 Le Charmois Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Saint-Aubin)
- Online Exclusive
Firmly tannic wine that has a tight, overextracted structure. The fruit is firmly suppressed by the tannic edifice, and at four years old should be more in balance.
— R.V.
