Louis Latour, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru (Burgundy, France) Les Caillerets 2006

($75, Louis Latour Inc.): Wines from Les Caillerets, one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most refined 1er cru, often have more finesse than most of the wines from that village, which tend to be a bit earthier.  Latour’s fits that mold, delivering elegance more associated with Puligny- than Chassagne-Montrachet.  Still, the characteristic earthiness is apparent and the combination along with bracing acidity makes this wine especially attractive.  This sophisticated wine blossoms in the glass and will benefit from several years in the cellar. 91 Michael Apstein Sep 16, 2008
