Domaine Leflaive 2003 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Editors' Choice

Price $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. — R.V. (12/1/2006)
