So I was picking up a sandwich at Raley’s and saw a table with some clearance bottles on them. I’m a complete Burgundy newbie, so I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to whether these would be considered a good start to a Burgundy introduction…I thought these were really good pricing, which is why I grabbed them, as I usually don’t shop for wine there.
Domaine Faiveley Chambolle-Musigny 2012 and 2014 (25 a bottle w discount)
Bouchard Pere & Fils Puligny-Montrachet 2013 (30 a bottle)
I haven’t had the 2012 or 2014 but the 2010 Faiveley Chambolle was really nice and other recent Faiveley bottles have been as well. $25 is a tremendous price for it - less than half of normal retail.
I thought so too, and I initially went up w 3 Faiveley’s, but cashier said if I grabbed 3 more, I’d still get 30% off, so I grabbed 2 more and the Bouchard and got the discount. So yes, those reflect the discount.
