($25):  With the current market and demand for Burgundy pushing prices into the stratosphere, it’s rewarding to fine a wine like Latour’s Santenay.  For those who believe that authentic Burgundy is always expensive, I suggest you try this one.  Nature was kind to Burgundy in 2015, providing a touch of extra ripeness and perfectly healthy grapes.  Wines lower on the prestige ladder, such as this village wine from the southern end of the Côte de Beaune, benefited enormously.  It has gorgeous concentration and an ideal combination of fruitiness and complementary herbal notes.  It has surprising polish for Santenay, resulting in a wine displaying charming rusticity.  Engaging now, with a roast chicken, for example, it has the requisite balance to develop nicely over the next few years, so there’s no rush to drink it if you buy a case — as I recommend, given the price. 90 Michael Apstein Nov 14, 2017
