($42, Polaner Selections):  The 2017 red Burgundies fall into two categories: forward and charming ready-to-drink wines and more structured ones suitable for the cellar.  This Santenay falls into the first category.  I attribute its amazing gracefulness, especially for Santenay, to the old vines in the hands of a talented producer.  It combines fresh red fruit-like flavors and savory notes and ends with a delightful freshness.  Finesse-filled, it still conveys the charming, slightly rustic profile of Santenay.  Frankly, given the prices of Burgundy these days, it’s a great buy.
