Hélène Darroze at The Connaught
This is a vast list, nearly 2,800 wines, and its center of gravity sits in France with Alsace by far the deepest single region at 223 bottles, backed by serious Bordeaux running from everyday clarets up to Château d'Yquem and Petrus. Reds lead the type breakdown, but the strengths are unusually broad. Tuscany and the Douro both clear a hundred listings, so there is real depth in Italy and Portugal beyond the obvious French anchors, alongside a notable run of Burgenland. The 70 wines by the glass give you room to pour across styles, and with native bottles starting around 28 GBP there is genuine accessibility under all the trophy bottlings. This rewards a guest who wants to dig, whether they are chasing Riesling and Burgundy or a marquee name like Harlan Estate.
