What’s the most inexpensive wine by the best wine makers.

[Mattstolz]

Kabinetts from most German wine producers like Prum, Zilliken, etc. Here you can get even top terroir at a reasonable price.
Ridge Geyserville
Bourgogne Rouge from producers like Hudelot-Noellat or Jouan
Chorey les Beaune from Drouhin.
Bourgogne Blanc from producers like Bernard Moreau.
Macons from Lafon.
Villages level Chablis from Christian Moreau.
At a higher level in white Burgundy, St. Aubins from producers like PYCM, Bernard Moreau or Lamy.
Red Chassagne Montrachet from Ramonet.
Rully from Aubert de Villaine
Barolos from Vajra
Barbaresco from Produttori

For those last two, I’ve always even really enjoyed their Langhe Nebbiolo. Vajra’s I can get for about $13 and Produttori for $22. just killer wines at those prices.

If you like White wine, then you might send a Private Message to Mr Buzzini and ask him whether any of the “Grocery Store” versions of the Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc capture some of the essence of the I-Block.

Vin de France Faurie Cuvée du Papy (who produces Hermitage)

Cool, had no idea he made a basic wine

[Henry_Kiichli]

Well, Aubert de Villaine runs DRC, the most expensive wine on earth. I recently had his red and white from the cote chalonnaise and they were excellent, for mid-price.

About 7 euros, at the domain …

Apparently Macario Montoya is now the winemaker for the Educated Guess lineup. I don’t know which vintages are his work (perhaps he could chime in here), but I would definitely go out of my way to check those out.

Pott Napa Valley Cab — $60

I’d echo the prior suggestions of Charvin CdR and Beaucastel’s Coudulet CdR.

I think you are probably looking for $25-$50 wines from winemakers known for $100+ wines, but I am going to throw out a couple of $12 Sauvignon Blancs from winemakers known for their $25-$50 wines: Chidaine Touraine Blanc & Henri Bourgeois Petit Bourgeois. Its gonna be summertime and the drinking will be easy . . .

Great recos.

Had the Bourgeouis Sancerre 2017 last night with grilled salmon. Excellent pairing on a very hot day in the South. Was $38 at the restaurant.

Love the entire Chidaine lineup.

Barbaresco from Produttori

I second these, and from someone I should never agree with. Especially the Kabinetts. I would specifically mention AJ Adam, whose magnums of Drohner Hofberg Kabinett can be had for $40-ish.

Maybe this will teach you the wisdom of agreeing with me more often.
