The Marigold Club
This is a serious, France first list of 382 wines built on Burgundy and Champagne, with real depth from growers like Dujac, Marquis d'Angerville in Volnay, and Krug, plus a strong supporting cast in Piedmont and Tuscany on the red side. Reds dominate at 206 bottles, but the sparkling section runs deep at 70, and you can steer guests toward Chablis from Dauvissat Camus or Blanc de Blancs Champagne when they want something precise. Prices stretch from $15 all the way to a $7,500 Comtes Lafon Le Montrachet, with a median near $250, so there is room to drink well without trading up, though the upper end is where this list shows off with Salon, Masseto, and d'Yquem. The 16 glass pours are a small program relative to the bottle count, so plan to sell bottles. This rewards a guest who knows Burgundy and wants producer specific choices, and it gives you plenty to talk through when they trust your lead.
