($69, Kobrand): Wines from Chambolle-Musigny, one of the top villages in the Côte de Nuits, are some of the most sought after in Burgundy, which explains why even a village wine, such as this one, commands a healthy price. Jadot’s 2012 is a great example and demonstrates why wines from that village are so popular. Very plush and concentrated, it delivers a minerality for which the Côte de Nuits is known. But its wonderfully silky texture imparts a near weightlessness and sets it apart. This is a great introduction for consumers who want to see for themselves about the seductiveness of Chambolle-Musigny.
