This is a big, France leaning list of nearly 700 wines built on Burgundy and Champagne, with serious depth in white Burgundy through producers like Paul Pernot and Château de la Maltroye and a strong Champagne bench from houses such as Henriot and Jacquesson. Whites run the show at 290 bottles against 269 reds, and the spine of the cellar is white Burgundy from Chassagne Montrachet and Meursault. Pricing is genuinely wide, from $8 up to a $19,500 Romanée Conti, with a median near $150, so you can sell a thoughtful bottle without scaring the table while still having Domaine de la Romanée Conti in your pocket for whoever wants it. The 35 glass pours give you room to work, and there are good non French detours worth knowing, like Eben Sadie from South Africa and Niepoort and Fernando de Castilla for the dessert and fortified section. This list rewards a guest who loves white Burgundy and a floor that can steer people toward the value end as confidently as the trophies.
