CORE by Clare Smyth

This is a big, serious list, around 1,170 wines, built on a deep Champagne and Burgundy spine with real Bordeaux weight behind it. Champagne runs deep with heavy Dom Pérignon representation including P2, and white Burgundy is a clear strength through growers like Domaine Roulot, Pierre Yves Colin Morey, and Benoit Moreau in Meursault. Reds are the largest single category at 578 bottles, anchored by Pauillac and Lafite Rothschild, while South Africa shows up strongly via Mullineux, the most listed producer here, alongside Loire whites from Anjou and Saumur and German Riesling from Keller. There is genuine entry access, with bottles starting around 28 to 30 GBP and a substantial 50 wines by the glass, so you can pour widely without pushing trade up. This rewards guests who know classic regions and want depth in Champagne and white Burgundy, but the glass program and lower price points mean you can still take care of the curious drinker.
