($30): Domaine de Suremain is a top producer in Mercurey, a village in the Côte Chalonnaise where authentic Burgundy can be found at reasonable prices.  The 2012 vintage was especially kind in there because it gave the wines a touch extra ripeness that balances the characteristic firmness of the region.  Domaine de Suremain’s has good concentration and a charming rusticity.  The interplay of cherry-like fruitiness and herbal earthiness remind you it’s real Burgundy — the kind that’s perfect with a simply roasted chicken.
