Help with basic Bourgognes

Can anybody offer up some, any, info on these 2 bottlings:

2005 Domaine Bernard Bachelet Bourgogne Blanc

2005 Paul Pillot Bourgogne (Pinot)

I know both these producers have more famous and well known doppelgangers (Denis Bachelet & JM Pillot) in the region; but I can't seem to find almost anything (aside from basic website info) on these two. Anything would be helpful.

Thanks.

Haven't tasted either wine. I tasted one Bernard Bachelet red once, not really impressed, never had a white. To be even less helpful, never had a Paul Pillot red. But I do like his whites, at least a few years ago.

Shopping at Sherry-Lehmann (Doppelganger Central)?

Hi Jorge - it's nice to see you here. I'm not familiar with the 2 wines, but I could recommend another basic bourgogne rouge - 2005 Monot Gachot Cote de Nuits Villages that I see is available at PJs. I picked up a couple of bottles at Kermit Lynch last month when I was in San Francisco, and I would copy my tasting note from CT if I knew how to include it in this post. Joel and I enjoyed the Monot Gachot quite a bit.
If you take a chance with the 2 wines you mention, please post a tasting note.

Smart man Dale. How'd you figure that one out?

Diane,

Great to run into you here as well. Thanks for the recommendation from PJ's. I already picked up one of each of the bottles I posted. I will definitely post TNs as soon as I pop them both.

Bob,

Thanks for the links.

Jorge, I went to that new link..Able Grape.

One tasting note:

2005 Domaine Bernard Bachelet et Fils Bourgogne
Nice pale yellow. Aromas of sweet spice, butter and apples. On the mouth, medium weight with waxy fruit, a hint of sweet oak and pear notes are balanced out by enough acidity. Opens up nicely on the finish. A solid 05 basic Bourgogne.

Are you familiar with Cellar Tracker (http://www.cellartracker.com/home.asp)? It is a great place to start for wine tasting notes from lots of people.

What are doppelgangers?
