Schwarzer Adler
This is a France first cellar, almost 400 bottles built squarely around Burgundy and the Rhône and Loire valleys, with Côte de Nuits reds and Côte de Beaune whites carrying the most depth. The Loire strength runs through Clos Rougeard, the most listed producer here with thirteen bottles, and Burgundy gets real seriousness from names like Domaine Caroline Morey, Roulot, Dujac, and Vincent Dauvissat. Austria shows up as the local counterweight, mostly Wachau whites plus growers like Moric and Ebner Ebenauer, but this is not an Austrian list at heart. Reds and whites are nearly even, so you can steer a table either way, though there is no by the glass program, so everything is a full bottle commitment. Prices run from roughly 49 to 149 euros and up, so it rewards a guest who knows Burgundy and the Rhône and wants to drink seriously rather than casually.
