Pernot BBM is a value play?
For what you get? Yeah.
Good to know…thanks. What are the other standouts in Pernot’s line up (wrt value)?
Everything Vincent Dureuil Janthial makes…

Pucelles, BBM, BM. At times, the BM is cheaper than the BBM because he makes one hell of a BBM.
JW, PYCM and Lamy, particularly the latter, make superb white Burgundy, but I believe to find value in white Burgundy one must look where others aren’t looking. If the producer is being discussed much on this board, it is probably too late. Also, I have a hard time discussing “value” above $50. Here are my recommendations:
Louis Michel Chablis 1er crus (I have never had anything other than really good bottles and they are $40 and under)
Cadette Vezelay Blanc Chatelaine (winemaker received guidance from Bernard Raveneau and it shows; under $25)
Rollin Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc (my vote for white Burgundy $35 and under)
Rollin Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc Sous Fretille (very similar to Corton Charlemagne; $50ish)
Jean-Marc Pillot Saint Romain Periere and Montagny Gouresses (both from very old vines and both mineral and citrus tinged; $35ish)
Prudhon St.-Aubin villages and 1er cru cuvees (all under $40, including Chateniere and Remilly)
Jean-Marc Vincent from Bourgogne Blanc to Auxey-Duresses to Santenay 1er crus (all $50 and under and Lamy-like quality)
Bize Bourgogne Blanc Perrieres (I would like to see this alongside Roulot’s version)
Pierre Morey Bourgogne Blanc (all Meursault fruit and it tastes like a very good village bottle)
Bachelet Aligote (the acid in this wine makes it almost electric)
That’s a dozen or so, so I will stop.
St Aubin. Lots of choices.
