The 2009 Chardonnay from Les Cretes is especially fat and rich in this vintage, yet all of the elements come together beautifully in the glass. Layers of sumptuous tropical fruit meld into butter, smoke and flowers in a seamless, generous style. The expansive, creamy finish makes it hard to resist a second taste. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799
