Whenever varietal tastings are held comparing Burgundies and Bordeaux with the same varieties from elsewhere in the world the interlopers invariably come out on top, or very close to it.
Well, I think I'd need to see some statistical evidence of that! However, I fully take the point: paying £500 to drink (rather than invest in) a bottle of Burgundy is just illogical when you see what else that money could buy, be it Pinot from elsewhere in the world or lesser Burgundy. Of course, if you can afford it, then why not!
