Many Grand Cru's can be easily found in the €50 range if you buy early. For example I bought a case of 2010 Corton Grand Cru Rouge (Cuvée Charlotte Dumay) from the Hospice de Beaune auction at €53.21 per bottle. I won't actually get the wine til sometime this spring but once it is bottled and put on sale through normal channels it will likely go for over €75 per bottle. And if you happen to see this wine at one of the worlds top restaurants sometime after 2015, it will cost hundreds. The same can be said for the two cases of 2009 Château de Pommard I put on reserve long before it was bottled. It is already going for over €75 per bottle direct from the Château.
But finding Grand Cru's under €40-50 is not easy for the public. You have to know someone, or be in the wine business yourself. Gaucho, as I think you are in the wine business, perhaps you should come to this event?
