no worries, somehow totally forgot about DD so glad you remembered/checked them, there's also a referral thread - note that unlike most of their/his other wines, that chardonnay isn't old-vine (Vieilles Vignes) - did you also consider/buy any Daniel Bouland beaujolais?Thanks @qaz I’ve just bought 2 of the 2019 Domaine de Bellene Bourgogne Rouge Maison Dieu Vieilles Vignes (Pommard) on your suggestion and 2 of their Chardonnay as well. I got mine price matched at Different Drop (they have cheaper shopping - $10 for under $150, and free above $150). Links here if anyone needs them: Rogue and Chardonnay
the Whistle Stop Tour France Zoom by Melbourne Wine House is good value for the wines alone even without attending the sessionBut to answer your other question, I love most Australian classics - Shiraz, cab sav, pinot and riesling are probably at the top. But my motivation for branching into French wine was to try something different and go in with an open mind. So really just after a broad mix to see what I like, and at probably around/under $50pb (hence trying the ones you mentioned above). By the way, that comparison list you have dug up and quoted is great - thanks !

Has anyone opened one (a 2013) lately? The reviews in 2016 were saying drink now, back then…i've had the 2017 which was available via MWG - not a 97pt wine imo - the 2013 single vineyard that @The Warlock enjoyed enough to order more is still $15 direct in dozens (free MEL delivery, else $15)
Yes, very solid wine - I preferred it over the '17 which we had for comparison.Has anyone tried the ‘20 Hoddles 1ER yet? The estate is top notch.
Keen to hear what you think @jrod , very little burgundy experience but also tossing up whether I get a coupleHi Qaz, I also picked up a bottle of ‘19 Bellene Bourgogne from a Brisbane retailer to road test. Might try it tonight or at least coravin a glass.
Having a couple glasses now. I drink mostly pinot and have a modest collection of burgundy and rate this one for the price. Dark crimson, medium+ body, great structure and approachable. A little bit sappy and stemy with dark earthy aniseed, mushroom and spice (in a good way) and ripe raspberry. Still quite fruit driven but it’s a little bit meatier than your usual pinot. Definitely punching well above it’s weight for a Bourgogne.Keen to hear what you think @jrod , very little burgundy experience but also tossing up whether I get a couple
Joseph Faiveley Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2019 $29.90 in 6pk @ Boccaccio
I haven't had much burgundy, though may be catching the bug now, but this is the best Bourgogne Rouge I've had yet - different from, but as good as, some of my favourite pinot noirs, including 2017 Lethbridge, Bay of Fires, Hoddles Creek
interesting - haven't had the 1er yet, nor either 2020, but the 2017 standard is my favouriteYes, very solid wine - I preferred it over the '17 which we had for comparison.
