Price $155

Rich and rounded, packed with yellow fruits and pineapple flavors, this is a warm, opulent wine, combining toast and fruit. True, there is some minerality, but this Meursault revels in its ripe fruit and generosity. — R.V. (5/1/2012)

Really ripe wine, with toast and yellow fruits, laced with intense citric acidity and a mineral edge, to go with the mouthwatering fruit. Needs to age for 5–6 years. — R.V. (5/1/2011)

Domaine Leflaive 2007 Sous le Dos d’Ane Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)

Price $150

While the wine does have richness, it’s the mineral and citrus side that is coming through at this stage. The balance with the wood aging is so right that you feel the toast rather than tasting it. As it matures, the wine will deepen in intensity and power, certainly over the next 5–10 years. — R.V. (5/1/2012)
