Yeah I have a bunch of "nicer" stuff but none of it is ready to drink. A lot of premier cru and grand cru stuff was designated that way because they aged well, not because they drink well in their youth.

My advice for Burgundy on a budget is get Bourgogne Rouge from good producers (e.g. Hudelot-Noellat is like $40-50, Fourrier is good and reasonable as well). For premier cru and grand cru, honestly Jadot and Drouhin make good stuff (Jadot is good as long as it is actually grown by Jadot, none of the negociant stuff. The bottle will say Domaine Jadot or Heritiers like in pic). For village-level, try smaller producers you haven't heard of or secondary villages (Fixin, St Romain, Cote Chalonnaise). The well-known stuff means $$$. 

Honestly, Burgundy is definitely expensive but you can find good quality at okay prices if you just put away FOMO/bottle-chasing. If you like something, trust your taste, and drink from that producer or village. Lots of wine geeks love Dujac but to me it's super stemmy (100% whole cluster) and overly oaked -- it tastes like Dujac to me, not like Vosne-Romanee. It is simply not worth the price as a result.
