I would love some help on picking a white and red burgundy drinking well under $300 per bottle. If you see any other gems please let me know. Bordeaux prices are ridiculous to me.
For me personally, the white selection is so much less interesting with few opportunities for value. I’d be tempted to get the Boillot Macon for the white (his Macon stuff is great QPR in my experience) and then spend ~$500 on a really fun red (Faiveley 1990 Corton Clos des Cortons for example).
White: Defaix 2012 or Morey Rully
red: Jadot 2012 or Potel 2017
I second the Defaix! Ordered the 2012 Vaillons for a similar price in Vegas last week and it was drinking very well.
Given some of the silly-expensive selections, I’m impressed with the number of sub-$100 wines across a pretty broad spectrum that I’d enjoy drinking.

Thanks everyone. Stan, can you list a few?
Pricey list. I’d probably just go for the Clos Cibonne rose.
For whites the Defaix is a good choice, they are late released.
For under $100 reds I usually like the Cantin Irancy. Very representative.

On the white side, the 2022 Guillot-Broux Macon-Cruzille Genièvrières seems like a screaming deal. I haven’t had that vintage, but they’re really talented winemakers and that’s one of their better bottlings. (Given the other markups here, it almost feels like a misprint?). I’d also rather drink the 2021 Joly Vieux Clos that most of the white Burgundy under $200, though the markup hurts on that one. The rosé selections seem pretty solid as well.
On the red side, I’d be really tempted by the Domaine Serol Chez Coste–I’ve never had that bottling but love their lower tier wines, also by the La Suffrene Bandol, based on style (a little lower % of Mouvedre) and pricing. The red Burgs are fine, and priced to match. Just skip the big-negoce wines and you’ll probably be fine if you don’t mind the $$.

Drouhin 2018 mouches
Peyrassol rose
Both should be open and giving and no fuss.
Defaix Chablis if you are a stickler!

I noticed the Clos Cibonne that Dave pointed out and a $74 Monnier-Perreol St. Joseph, those were at the top. Mas de Daumas rose frizante, maybe not too good but I’ve enjoyed their reds over the years and never heard of that. Yves Leccia rose, because it’s Corsican and I’m curious. Benoit Cantin Irancy or Lignier-Michelot SLB if I was in the mood for serviceable red Burgundy. Coudoulet de Beaucastel. '12 Meyney is over my (cheap) limit but at $129 probably decent and ready. Some really cheap Loire Alsace and Bordeaux whites that the somm could steer me to if needed. I think this restaurant wants you to drink wine.

Thanks guys. This community is the best!
Good choice, normally good wines in every vintage.
2021 ÉTIENNE BODET, Clos Durandière is a very good bottle of Cabernet Franc but will need air.
But none of those are:

Agreed, it’s why I just made a general comment about the list until asked specifically.
DOMAINE LOUIS JADOT, 1er Cru, Les Avaux Beaune 2012 for a red. One of the Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne Blancs for white. Very expensive for Bourgogne but very good.
It wasn’t meant as chastising but rather at pointing out that I was also following the tangent

I do appreciate the other suggestions. I will pass them on to our friends dining with us. In hindsight I guess I was was a little selfish in my request just thinking of my wife and me.
