I pose the question because a glance at WSPro reveals that much of the Burgundy I have in my cellar ,is worth so much money that it would be insane to drink it. Rousseau Chambertin 99 now at £1500 a bottle and even Leflaive Chevalier 2008 at £400!!
Sure I did not pay these prices but I am still very reluctant to open a bottle now when I have so much fine Bordeaux and NRhone at much better value for money . When you take into account the pre mox risk with white and red Burgundy you wonder who is mad enough to buy at current prices ?
Personally,I rarely drink Burgundy now at home although do still at our regular fine wine lunches . Think if prices continue to rise ,even at these lunches the wine will become rare,at least at GC level
