La Grand'Vigne - Les Sources de Caudalie
This is a serious, Bordeaux anchored book of 552 wines, heavily weighted to red with strong showings from Pauillac, Saint Julien, and Saint Emilion, and the house property Château Smith Haut Lafitte runs deep with over thirty listings across vintages. The depth is not only local: Burgundy is a real strength here, with stacks of Domaine Taupenot Merme, Domaine Comte Liger Belair, and Domaine de la Romanée Conti, plus a solid Champagne section led by Billecart Salmon. Whites number a hundred bottles, including Alsace from Trimbach, so you are not stuck steering everyone to red. The glass program is tight at 17 pours, so know what is open and lean on bottles for guests who want range. This list rewards the table that wants pedigree and is ready to spend, though entry points start around 13 to 25 euros for those drinking lighter.
