Jeffrey's

This is a deep, classically built list of nearly 1,200 wines, anchored hard in France, with Bordeaux, the Rhone, and Burgundy carrying the weight, and Nuits St Georges especially well represented. Reds dominate at almost 600 selections, and the producer roster is serious collector territory, think Jean Louis Chave and Thierry Allemand in the Rhone, Sylvain Cathiard and Jacques Frederic Mugnier in Burgundy, plus Littorai and Domaine Leflaive showing the bench is strong on both sides of the Atlantic. The range runs from a $48 entry point to a $56,000 Chateau le Puy, with a median near $300, so this is a special occasion book where guests can still find something honest under sixty dollars. The 28 glass pours give you a workable but not generous toolkit, so lean on bottles when you can. This list rewards the table that wants aged Burgundy or top Northern Rhone, and it rewards a somm who knows the difference between a village and a grand cru.
