($80) Slightly hazy medium yellow. Rich, buttery aromas of stone fruits, hazelnut and lees. Ripe and fairly fat for this cuvee, with a distinctly glyceral impression and classic dryness. This hints at the typical minerality of this normally Chablis-like bottling but I find this year's release to be a bit less sharply delineated than usual.

The 2006 Mon Plaisir exhibits full-bodied notes of peach, popcorn, brioche, and tropical fruit, medium to full body, beautiful depth, and an enticing purity, without any evidence at all of the botrytis that affected Chardonnay vineyards on the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas Mountains.

A rich, subtle combination of elegant pear, fig and citrus, with layers of smoky, toasty oak, builds to a complex mix of flavors, with a touch of marshmallow and subtle fruit and oak notes.
