Help with a wine list

The prices for Burgundy on this list seem ridiculous. I would pay the corkage.

But, the most interesting “reasonably” priced wines I see in the Burgundies are:

  1. Jean-Claude Ramonet, Bourgogne, Pinot Noir, 2018 215. Ramonet makes really seductive reds as well as fabulous whites. For this price, you should be getting a red Chassagne-Montrachet premier cru from him, but from the list, I find this to be the interesting.

  2. Another alternative would be the Paul Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet, Rouge Vieilles Vignes, 2021 185… I recently tried the Pillot villages CM from 2019 and it was quite nice and pretty drinkable. My guess is that the 2021 would be interesting. I find 2021 to be a real “through-back” vintage to an earlier era of lower alcohol wines and the few I have tasted have been quite attractive. Have not had this 2021, however.

  3. The one wine I have actually tasted is the Y. Clerget, Volnay, Les Santenots, Premier Cru, 2020 375. I like Clerget’s Volnays and this one was quite good when I tasted it at the Grand Tasting at the Paulee in 2023 in NYC. Grand Tasting at the Paulee - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers Do note that 2020s are very structured wines and this wine is quite young. I have no idea if it has closed up since I tried it in March 2023.
