Who makes good <$30 red Bourgogne these days?

WINE TALK
1

Limited to Bourgogne at weekday-wine prices - i.e., $30 and under.

I’ve had decent luck with Cornu, Ballot-Minot, Guillemot, Digioia-Royer, Hudelot-Noellot.

Roty, Gouges, Bize are all out of range now. Wondering if anyone has any new finds?

2

I like both Colins…Bruno & Philippe. Usually under $25.

3

Roty cuvee pressonnier bourgogne

4

That’s a $35 bottle in the States now.

5

I would buy Vignoble Guillaume Pinot Noir instead.

6

The first two on Wine Searcher free list it at $29,50

and $29,95

After that it goes up.

Thivin and Chanrion both make very nice Bojos (Gamays from Côte de Brouilly) for under $20…

8

Neither of which are from the same grape, region or terroir as a Burgundy.

9

Some good suggestions so far. Mongered Mugneret, Digioia-Royer are also very good.

10

I really like Bertheau’s but it’s hard to find. I bought a case of 2010 for $20 each.

Also liked the 08 Thibault Liger Belair Les a grand Chaillots, but I haven’t tried anything more recent.

I just picked up my 09 Digioia Royer and a couple of 10 Hudelot Noellat from PC… looking forward to trying those!

11

Second the Roty Pressonier, also Meo Camuzet is good at this price I think.

12

Sometimes the Mongeard Mugneret can be <$20. I have not had the Digioia-Royer. Thanks for the tip.

Nicolas Rossignol can probably still be had for sub $30. Someone posted on the 2009 recently.

Duband at that price point.

Gouges can be found very near $30 and at $29.95 at MacArthur Beverages. Well worth the extra few bucks.

14

Also Frederic Esmonin Clos Prieur, Chambertin focused and at around $25

15

The problem with that logic is a few extra bucks here, and a few extra bucks there and then you find yourself drinking Lafarge Volnay VS. I think most of the burgheads on the forum know what the best Bourgognes are (and I’d definitely include Gouges in that list, the 2009 and 2010 were outstanding) but with burgflation, I was hoping for some finds on the producers who have kept Bourgogne prices at the levels we’re used to.

16

Rene Leclerc.

17

I’d like to think that some or many of the aggressively priced 2012’s are going to stick on the shelves much longer than originally anticipated. Wouldn’t put anything Gouges in that camp though.

18

I liked the 2012 Patrice Rion Bourgogne which I bought around $20

19

I know its not Bourgogne but Kermit Lynch brings in a stellar Pinot Noir from Eric Chevalier out of Loire Valley. Great Value for money.

20

douhin’s cdb villages and cdn villages are insanely great buys.
