JOSEPH PERRIER BLANC DE BLANC VINTAGE 2010

With annual production under one million bottles, this is a highly respected family-run maison established in 1825. Chardonnay from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards like Avize and Le Mesnil sur Oger are fermented parcel by parcel, providing the intensity and complexity in this long-lived assemblage. Fine mousse, attractive floral nose and balanced body with toasty tropical warmth keep it lively from start to finish. $145 from crystalwines.com
