($70, Louis Latour USA): Louis Latour, one of Burgundy’s top-notch producers, hit a bull’s eye with their 2012s.  The vintage produced concentrated wines and capturing acidity, especially for the whites, was a challenge.  Latour succeeded brilliantly.  This Meursault has a beautiful, yet not overripe, density for a premier cru in 2012.  Its concentration is buttressed by plenty of racy minerality.  With an exceptional finish, this refined wine, though a joy to drink now, should evolve to give great enjoyment over a decade.
