Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils 2004 En Remilly Premier Cru Chardonnay (St.-Aubin)
All white Burgundy should aim for the balance as this wine. It floats ripe fruit, vanilla, and acidity in harmony, all restraint and elegance. It's all there, and it's delicious.

Morey-Blanc 2005 Premier Cru Chardonnay (St.-Aubin)
- $48
Grapefruit, toast and white peach aromas give this wine a great start. It is not powerful but is deliciously balanced with fresh green plum and pink grapefruit flavors rounded out with just the perfect amount of wood. Drink 2010.

Olivier Leflaive 2006 En Remilly Premier Cru Chardonnay (St.-Aubin)
This exuberant wine has pineapple, pepper and perfumed toast. It is open, generous, kept in check with some crisp acidity, but essentially rich, lively and buttery. This is a down-to-earth wine, fat, prosperous and friendly.

Roux Père et Fils 2004 Les Cortons Premier Cru Chardonnay (St.-Aubin)
- Online Exclusive
- $42
Beautiful green-plum flavored fruit shows how good Saint-Aubin can be. The vanilla flavors from wood fermentation and aging simply underline the pure, vivid flavors. Drink in three to 10 years.

Michel Picard 2003 Récolte du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet Le Charmois Premier Cru Pinot Noir (St.-Aubin)
- $30
Has Picard’s signature oak treatment in spades, with cedar, cinnamon and clove notes, but also strident cherry flavors that show enough promise to warrant cellaring 5–8 years. Long on the finish, which seems oaky right now, but the fruit wins out in the end.

Roux Père et Fils 2005 La Chatenière Premier Cru Chardonnay (St.-Aubin)
- $38
An attractively balanced wine, full of ripe, warm fruit, but still keeping the acidity as a counterweight to the rich tropical and white fruit flavors. The wood shows, but the fruit powers through to give richness and some freshness.

Roux Père et Fils 2006 Les Cortons Premier Cru Chardonnay (St.-Aubin)
A rounded, toast-rich wine, with the full creaminess of malolactic acidity very evident. This richness works, giving a sensuous, opulent style, just kept in check by the acidity, but very ready to let all its ripeness rip.

Roux Père et Fils 2004 La Pucelle Chardonnay (St.-Aubin)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Roux Père et Fils, based in Saint-Aubin, has done much to enhance the reputation of the appellation. This wine shows the potential of the ripe fruit that can be produced in a year such as 2004. Perhaps the winemaker was carried away by new wood, but that should tone down in a year.
