($69, Frederick Wildman and Sons):  Pouilly-Fuissé doesn’t get any better than this.  Le Clos, sure to be classified as a premier cru vineyard when the classification system for Pouilly-Fuissé goes into effect in the next year or so, is owned solely — a monopole — by Château de Fuissé, one of the top producers in the appellation.  A simultaneously ripe and vibrant wine, it explodes on the palate and lasts, seemingly forever.  In a line-up of famous wines from the Côte d’Or at a recent tasting, it overshadowed all but the Grand Cru. Yes, $70 is a lot for a Pouilly-Fuissé.  But this could be Le Montrachet of Pouilly-Fuissé.  Trust me, this one is worth it — if you have $70 to spend on a bottle of wine.
