Coquette
This is a Burgundy collector's list at heart, built around the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune in both colors, with deep benches from Domaine Leflaive, Hubert Lamy, and Etienne Sauzet on the white side and Armand Rousseau and Domaine de la Romanée Conti at the top of the reds. It runs 411 bottles and skews French, with a serious Champagne section anchored by Pol Roger and a trophy tier topped by Salon Le Mesnil at $6,000 and Leroy and DRC bottles in the thousands. There is no by the glass program, so everything here is a bottle commitment, but the range is real: entry bottles start at $44 and the median sits around $180, so you can steer a guest toward value or into the grand cru deep end depending on the table. Reds outnumber whites, though the white Burgundy and Loire depth means you are never short of serious options for fish or aperitif drinking. This list rewards the guest who knows Burgundy and wants to spend, and it asks the floor to know its villages and producers cold.
