TN: Nice basic Bourgogne

Last night Betsy made a special request meal for me, chicken schnitzel with an herb salad, while I grilled a few ears of corn (still too early for local). Wine was the 2007 Paul Pernot Bourgogne Blanc. A perennial favorite and this year's version is doing quite well. Pear and citrus fruit, a faint hint of vanillin oak (though I'd be surprised if any new here), good concentration and length, brisk but not harsh acidity. With time some earth and chalky mineral notes. Very good for level. My last of three, I should have gotten case when at good price locally. B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

How is the price of this wine? I have had a few glasses from friends and liked it but was wondering about the availability.
