For whites, I bought a mess of 2014s so I can wait. For reds, I probably don’t need to ever buy another bottle of Burgundy again. So, again I will wait.
Frankly, this is not a great time to be buying Burgundy. My guess is that next year prices will be better IF we have a new President and the tariffs go away. So, I am not buying that much right now. I have plenty of wine in my cellar and will wait.
This is true, but I don’t think the next several vintages are necessarily going to be all that great. Rock, hard place, etc.

Howard, if you don’t ever need to buy another bottle of Burgundy, it’s a pretty moot point! Whereas I am, let’s say, a few years younger than you are, and I love the 16s, so waiting on the 18s and 19s to potentially be had at a more reasonable value isn’t of much use to me.

There will always be another excellent vintage, whether it is in 2020, 2021, 2022, etc. 2016 is a very small vintage. It will never be cheap.

That’s very true, but I don’t see Burgundy prices dropping substantially going forward given market interest and the limitation on production. Also, climate change is not pointing in the right direction for my Burgundy preferences, nor is my own age.

But, with a new President next year, they very well could go down 25%.
Buisson Charles and Guffens have stood out for me recently.

I don’t expect vintages bought under tarrifs would though.
The Niellon Chassagne Chaume Clos des Truffieres would be way up there too but the price has now pierced $100.
The 2017 of this was pretty widely available for $90 or a bit less. The 2018 has made the $100 jump? Bummer.

I love this wine and I probably should have included in my original post. I drank through a fair bit of the 2014 at $60/per and each was exceptional.
Domaine Jean-Marc Vincent Santenay 1er Cru ‘Le Beaurepaire’ Blanc
Disclaimer: I import the wine into Australia.
You’d get no argument from me, Jeremy, and it’s $50 here. And, you could add his Santenay 1er cru Gravieres and 1er Auxey-Duresses Les Haute. And, if this were about reds, you could say the same for those.
Others:
Cherisey Meursault Blagny 1er cru La Genelotte
Cherisey Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Hameau de Blagny
Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Les Caillerets
Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er cru Les Vergers Clos St. Marc (really old vines; 2017 will stop you in your tracks; has just how nudged over $100)
Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Referts
Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Folatieres
Rollin Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru Sous Fretille (hard to distinguish from Corton-Charlemagne and it’s closer to $50 than $100)I have to admire your tastes - in this post and the next you’ve listed nearly all of the white burgundy producers I buy every year. However, based on US pricing after tariffs, these are no longer under $100 wines…other than the Rollin Sous Fretille, which I agree is a fabulous bargain.
I’ve been researching some of these
Of course you have to finagle a bit but Using wine.com coupons

The fact that we can pat ourselves on the back for finding a Carillon village wine for less than a benjamin is all the proof you need of the hopelessly pathetic futility of searching for affordable & swallowable Chardonnay during an era of infinitely infinite fiat electrons within a milieu of zero velocity of money.

took Nathan to get you back! Good to see you.
Ryan. Half bottles of the better stuff. Seriously.
Buisson Charles and Guffens have stood out for me recently.
I really like Buisson Charles wines, but they generally need time. They aren’t real showy young.

the 17s are drinking really well right now
Lots of great options mentioned here!
Chassagne Blanchot dessus should be on the list. Morey Coffinet’s version is worth seeking out.
I’d add Hubert Lamy’s Saint-Aubin En Remilly to the list. Have to be careful (as with so much of Burgundy) but I’d argue that there are some good deals when you look at wines from Saint-Aubin.

I see what you did here… and I agree. Plus, well under $100 and no tariffs.
