Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils 2004 Grandes Ruchottes Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
-
$85
Made from 60-year-old vines, evidenced by its concentration and serious ageability. It is structured, firm and relatively dry at this young stage. It’s a wine that needs at least 5 years. Today, if you do open a bottle, watch for the mineral, stony character that pushes the fruit and demands attention.

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.

Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils 2004 Les Chenevottes Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
-
$70
In the fat, buttery style of white Burgundy, this wine, with its malolactic flavors and its vanilla flavors, would appeal immediately to California Chardonnay lovers. Except that it also has elegance: a hint of steel and a touch of acidity to temper the tropical fruits.

Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils 2004 Morgeot Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
-

Perhaps the best-known of the Chassagne-Montrachet premier crus, Morgeot is a wine that delights the taste buds. Moreau’s example has enticing flowery aromas, ripe red apple and fresh almond flavors, and a friendly, open character that is tempered with some fresh acidity.
