Staff Pick Notes

There's no shortage of hallowed ground in Burgundy. And when it comes to whites, Meursault is one of the most revered. Despite its lack of a Grand Cru site, the terroir here is considered one of the finest for Chardonnay. The key to the region is to follow the producer. Although Pernot Belicard was launched only in 2009, its founder, Philippe Pernot, is the grandson of Paul Pernot, who still runs the famous 17-hectare family domaine in Puligny-Montrachet. Meursaults may be known for their richness, but this was much more refined and elegant. You'll find citrus, wet stone, tropical fruit notes, and a hint of toastiness. This is excellent now but will be great over the next 3 to 5 years.

Fans of rich, unctuous, and well-oaked Chardonnay will enjoy Chassagne-Montrachet, whose age-worthy offerings offer all the fatness of a California wine, yet retain a very Burgundian, mineral-driven core and great acidity....

During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
