L'Avant-Garde

Every bottle on this sixty one selection Washington list starts at $90, and the top end reaches $785, a list pitched squarely at a special occasion crowd. There's no by the glass program. Reds lead at thirty six, whites follow at eighteen, with five champagne and sparkling picks. Vintages run 2013 to 2025. No award level yet, but the pricing floor alone marks this as a serious, not casual, wine program.
