Found these 2 bottles in a French supermarket while on holiday for €34.06 ($38.90) a bottle. I’m newish to Burgundy and didn’t really have time to debate purchasing or not, but I’ve never seen a Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru for less than €80 where I live, so decided to take the risk and buy out their inventory of 2 bottles. They seem to be in good condition overall. One has a better fill while the other one is a bit lower and the cork is protruding a bit, but nothing extreme.
Did I get a steal or not? I’m assuming drink now? I think with 14 years of bottle maturity, if they’re good, they’ll probably be at their best now.

If they’re in good shape, it’s a definite steal.
Indeed, they’re a bit over the hill, so i would drink them soon.
Bouzereau is not a producer that garners much attention. 2011 was a fairly cool/lean year. While I would not assume they are bad by any means I would be surprised if they were great. Probably a fair price in France. Drink them now and hopefully they are spectacular. If they are, it was a steal.
