This is a deep, France leaning list of 609 bottles built on Burgundy, the Rhone, and serious grower Champagne from both the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. The strength is in tightly focused producers, so expect real verticals and multiple cuvées from names like Thierry Allemand, Keller, Arnaud Ente, and Domaine des Comtes Lafon, topping out in a DRC anchored cellar that runs to $7,000. White is the clear emphasis at 257 selections against 211 reds, with good sparkling depth and a sizeable dessert and fortified section. Prices open as low as $14 and the median sits around $275, so it rewards a guest who wants to drink well in the middle but can also climb to grand cru. The 16 glass pours are a small window onto a list that truly opens up by the bottle, so steer curious drinkers there.
