Domaine Louis Latour, Chassagne-Montrachet (Burgundy, France) Rouge 2006

($28, Louis Latour Inc.): Although the grand and premier cru vineyards of Chassagne-Montrachet produce three times as much white wine as red, its village wines are more often red than white and, like this one, are often very good values.  This charming Pinot Noir-based wine delivers pure bright cherry-like flavors intertwined with a hint of leafiness.  It has the charming, delicate quality of good red Burgundy and is perfect for drinking now. 87 Michael Apstein Jan 6, 2009
