An interesting brief: can a basic Bourgogne scratch the Burgundy itch for less than £25, give or take. Or: is there value still to be had in Burgundy.
Consensus is that yes - there is value to be found in Burgundy and some very nice wines at this level. No incredible bargains and nothing life changing here, but some wines I'd be an enthusiastic buyer of at this level.
Also chapeau to Jonathan for setting a really interesting brief and then herding the cats to actually stick to it!
2018 Jean-Marc Vincent Bourgogne Blanc 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc
A little mineral sweetness, talcum powder notes and a tenderness to the fruit. Ripe green apple - quite lean but balanced, contained. It does feel that there's something waiting to unfurl but it's rather shy right now.

2020 Domaine Patrick Javillier Bourgogne Côte d'Or Cuvée des Forgets 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Côte d'Or
Really quite rich and opulent for the level. Some spice and smoke, pure lemon and some peach with a mineral edge. Good body on the palate with freshening acidity and a powdery sweetness. Oak is present but nicely integrated, complex overall.
