Post Subject: PP and NuitsPosted by de charlus on: 8/4/2013

Oh good grief, that really sucks; I didn't know that PP had fallen on quite such hard times, since I recall reading in other threads about people who'd purchsed the 3000 quite recently - is the problem that they've moved on from the 2000, misplaced your unit and thus cannot replace it?
Yes, being a frugal Burgundy enthusiast is destined to be a frustrating enterprise, but there are still a few bargains to be had, most notably the Nuits St-Georges of Henri Gouges, IMHO. The 1er Cru Les St. Georges is probably the best, but the 1er Crus of les Vaucrains, Pruliers and Clos de Porrets are really good, and even the Nuits Villages is excellent and quite rich in good vintages. Most interestingly of all, perhaps, is the 1er Cru of Chaignots, on the Vosne-Romanee side of the domain, for it exhibits all the force and richness of the Gouges Nuits St. Georges style, but with a touch of that inimitable Vosne-Romanee silkiness and refinement. Other than these wines, the Volnays of Pousse d'Or, as previously discussed, are a great bargain, but I strongly recommend the wines of Gouges, especially before they rise to prices that reflect their quality and aging potential. You won't be disappointed.
