Tonight's bottle · White Burgundy, mineral, breathtaking
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet
🇫🇷Burgundy, France · Chardonnay
The platonic ideal of white Burgundy — chalk and cream and the briefest suggestion of toasted oak. Mineral in a way that feels geographic, specific, true. Worth opening for a novel that earns it. Not for every Tuesday, but for the Tuesday that matters.

Breathtaking and expensive in feeling — the wine for a novel obsessed with beautiful things and what they cost.
