($24, Louis Latour USA): Marsannay, now practically a suburb of Dijon, is the northern most outpost of the Côte de Nuits.  With no classified vineyards — but deserving of some — the village offers the best value for red wines from the entire Côte d’Or, in my opinion.  Latour’s 2012 is simply marvelous, delivering bright fruit flavors atop a woodsy savory base all enrobed in mild tannins.  This is an unbelievable bargain for the enjoyment it delivers.  Try it with a roast chicken and sautéed mushrooms.
