Any recs for a bottle to purchase and drink in a few weeks?
I will be flying with the bottle and drinking about 30 hours after landing.
Thanks in advance!
I’m a big fan of the Pernot BBM in that price range, if you don’t mind young white burg.

Go with one of the Batards. CC isn’t really a GC in most cases especially in that price range.

Thanks all!
Will go through these.
BTW: For the one Michael recommended, very expensive shipping from NY to CA, plus a processing fee, which took the total up quite a bit.

Rapet Corton-Charlemagne is one of the better value Grands Crus and a CC that actually lives up to the name.

If you like a very leany and stone-driven feel- try Chanson Corton-Vergennes. Imagine the flavor profile of a Corton-Charlemage but with a tension, and stony drive almost on the level of a Montrachet- but overall lean and reserved. I say all this because it is the kind of wine you will really like only if that style appeals to you.
They are a large neogicant with little US presence and this is one of their top wines. I am a huge fan and it runs $200 or less in recent vintages. The 2017 is a good one to try now- though it will last and improve like any other great grand cru. 2019 and 2020 might be showing well young too- but the 2018 has shurt down.

What not purchase it in California and pick it up on arrival?

Love Hi Time
Another consideration: rather than a “bargain” Cote d’Or GC, you might prefer to get a great Chablis GC in that range. Quite a few to choose from, but I imagine both Dauvissat and Fevre should be relatively easy to source, even something like a 2014.
