Slalom 1850
This is a serious, France focused list of nearly 400 selections built around Bordeaux and red Burgundy, with the Cote de Nuits and grand cru bottlings carrying real depth alongside a strong Champagne section that leans hard on blanc de blancs. Reds dominate the book at 204 wines, and the Burgundy bench is anchored by names like Denis Mortet and L'Arlot, while the Rhone shows up through Rayas and Beaucastel from Chateauneuf du Pape. Pricing is alpine resort money, so expect bottles to climb fast, though the native examples suggest a few entry points exist in the 34 to 76 euro range. The glass program is generous for a list this size at 34 pours, which gives you room to sell exploration without committing a guest to a full bottle. This rewards the classically minded Burgundy and Bordeaux drinker more than anyone hunting whites or rose, which are thin here.
