Hoogan et Beaufort
This is a big, France leaning cellar of 766 bottles built around Burgundy, the Northern Rhône, and Champagne, with serious red depth from Piedmont, Tuscany, and left bank Bordeaux. The whites are no afterthought, with Chablis showing real strength alongside Burgundy, and the trophy end runs deep with thirteen listings from Domaine de la Romanée Conti. There is also a clear hand for grower and natural minded producers, with names like Pinard et Filles, Matassa, Clos Rougeard, and Tissot giving the list character beyond the classics. Bottles start around 60 to 70 CAD, so there is a real entry point, but understand there is no glass program at all, so every recommendation is a full bottle commitment. This list rewards a guest who wants to explore French terroir in depth and a server who can steer between safe Chablis and the more wild grower bottles.
