Domaine Leflaive 2008 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $260
A fine, elegant wine, with balanced toast and acidity, great ripe apricot flavors along with spice from the toast, acidity, citrus and a hint of ginger. Still very young, this pure fruited wine could age over 6–10 years.

Domaine Leflaive 2009 Les Folatieres Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $215
A wine that brings out intense minerality, a tight citric tang and a beautiful structure. With its lime and grapefruit acidity laid over ripe yellow fruits shot through with toast, this is a wine that should age many years, mellowing into an open, generous richness.

Domaine Leflaive 1998 Les Folatieres Premier Cru White (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Online Exclusive
A second release for this stunningly rich wine, which is developing bottle bouquet of creme brulee, caramel, peach pie, macaroon, lemon zest, butter and smoke. Gorgeous in the mouth, still firm and angular but with decadent flavors. Delicious now, rich as sin, a fabulous wine with a long future ahead.

Domaine Leflaive 2006 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $273
A rich, mouthfilling, sophisticated wine. The secret is in the balance, with the concentrated fruit flavors—dried apricot, mango and lemon—in just the right proportion. It tastes delicious now, but will certainly age over five years or more.

Domaine Leflaive 2006 Clavoillon Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- $152
A superb wine. It opens slowly in the mouth, revealing layers of toast followed by intense white and green fruits. Spice and nutmeg accent the kiwi, pepper and pineapple notes, all concentrated around a core of minerality. Age for at least four years.

Domaine Leflaive 2007 Clavoillon Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- $145
At this stage, the wine is closed up, the fruit quite tight. But it is extremely rich, the potential from the spice, broad white fruits and intense minerality all promising good aging.
