Ramon,
as I told you at '04 Bdx dinner, others are a lot more knowledgable than I. But I have couple thoughts:
1) Make appointments! Best is to ask a retailer you know if they will ask distributor/importer to make appointments, if you don't want to do yourself.
2) I know you dont want to drive. But maybe taxis or a rental bike could be the answer. I mean Burgundy is small, and Savigny, Chorey, Pommard are just outside of Beaune. Savigny is a cute little village, why not make appointments at some great producers like Chandon de Brialles, Pavelot, Ecard, Bize? Most have other wines (some Corton Grand Crus).
