San Francisco Bay Area Wine-2004 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Crus at Vin, Vino, Wine

"The best 2004s are classically styled and gorgeously transparent wines with unusually good balance and purity. The star of 2004 is undoubtedly Puligny-Montrachet. While there are some really lovely wines from Meursault as well and a few from Chassagne too, Puligny truly stands head and shoulders above its neighbors." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com
