Romain Bouchard 2008 Vau de Vey Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
There is great purity here, the fresh green fruits bursting out of the glass with a mineral edge and a honeyed toast layer. The wine offers a fine view of a cool premier cru vineyard.

Romain Bouchard 2006 Domaine de la Grande Chaume Vau de Vey Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
-
$39
Initially very mineral, this wine opens up to soft, creamy toast and vanilla flavors. The acidity is crisp but sweet, hinting at yellow fruits and then showing off pears. The finish is all about freshness.

Romain Bouchard 2008 Le Grand Bois Chardonnay (Chablis)
From a single vineyard just behind the line of Grand Cru vineyards, this is superior Chablis, wood aging bringing an attractive toasty character. It has green plum fruits to give balancing freshness. Ready to drink.
