Olivier Leflaive 2009 Bâtard-Montrachet Chardonnay (Bâtard-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $350
Mineral, steel and toast set this impressive, well-structured wine on to the road for aging. Behind this initially severe, very young exterior is the richest yellow and white fruit, exuding power, concentration and density. Give it 6–8 years and many more.

Olivier Leflaive 2009 Corton-Charlemagne Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $182
As always, Corton-Charlemagne offers an opulent Chardonnay. In this vintage, the wine has intense tropical fruits, very ripe although never losing sight of its acidity. There is terrific concentration here, giving a wine that is very rich.

Olivier Leflaive 2006 Chardonnay (Bâtard-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $310
This is a bright star in Olivier Leflaive’s firmament, a wondrous big, rich wine that is just so finely poised. The structure is dense, rich, fat and full-bodied, a hymn to ripe fruit. Flavors are fruit-driven at this stage, but this is a wine that will develop over many years, if you can resist the urge to indulge its luxuriant tastes now.

Olivier Leflaive 2009 Clos Saint Marc Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)
An intense, mineral-driven wine, tasting of the limestone soil as well as very ripe fruit. Great acidity keeps the richness in line, toast offering sweetness. The wine is full-bodied, the flavors going right through to the apple-skin-textured core.

Olivier Leflaive 2009 Les Pucelles Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $137
An impressive wine, very much for aging. It has rich fruit, laced with the purest acidity, lemon vying with ripe white peaches. With great richness come weight and intensity, the toast giving an extra dimension. Age for 4–6 years.

Olivier Leflaive 1998 White (Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet)
- Cellar Selection
- $150
Refinement and balance are this wine’s hallmarks, with white-peach and tropical-fruit aromas and flavors beautifully enmeshed by honeyed hazelnuts and toast. Despite its obvious richness, this wine is rather unevolved. The expansive, nuanced finish shows superb length and definition. This still needs three or four years for the component parts to fully integrate.

Olivier Leflaive 2006 Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
- $150
This is a rare venture by Olivier Leflaive outside his home territory around Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault. The wine is classic Corton-Charlemagne, big and bold, a broad-shouldered wine that brings together toastiness, ripe pineapple and mango and balancing, lively acidity. It is already giving great pleasure, but should last well over the next decade.

Olivier Leflaive 2006 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)
A wine that shows the superlative quality of white Burgundy in 2006, this is big, powerful and yet finely restrained. The yellow fruits are tempered with citrus, the weight and full character of the wine balanced with ultra-fresh acidity. Age this wine for 2–3 years.
