Gourmets of Wine > 2000 JM Boillot Puligny Montrachet

[The Silk Road of Wine] Not only did it complement the meal (Florida red grouper chowder, California bass with wild mushroom pancake and saffron beurre blanc), it significantly enhanced it by bringing out several underlying flavors that were hiding just beneath the surface.  The rich flavor of the wine's lemon fruit and toasted oak notes worked wonders -- highly recommended and a good price point ($50-60) for an upscale restaurant's wine list.
