Le Central
This is a big, France leaning list of 420 bottles built around Burgundy and the Rhone, with real depth in white and red Burgundy from producers like Pierre Yves Colin Morey and Ballot Millot, plus a sturdy Champagne section anchored by Deutz and Dom Perignon. The reds run deepest at 186 selections, but there is genuine breadth across sparkling, white, rose, and dessert, and the format options stand out, with 29 magnums and 22 half bottles for tables that want to size up or sample around. Prices are friendly for what this is, opening at $18 with a median near $85, so you can pour well without pushing guests toward the top of the book, though the high end goes to serious Burgundy like the Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru at $585. Note there is no glass program, so everything sells by the bottle, magnum, or half. This list rewards a guest who knows Burgundy and the Rhone and wants to drink seriously without spending recklessly.
