Le Coucou
This is a Burgundy driven French list with serious depth, built around white Burgundy in particular: think François Raveneau and Hubert Lamy in Chablis and the Côte de Beaune, plus heavy coverage of Meursault, Chassagne Montrachet, and Chablis Premier Cru. Red strength runs through Bordeaux and back to Burgundy as well, with Robert Chevillon and a deep cellar of Domaine de la Romanée Conti and Petrus at the top, where bottles climb to 14,000 dollars. With 829 wines and a median around 495 dollars, this is a collector's list more than an everyday one, and there is no by the glass program, so plan to sell whole bottles. Entry points start at 90 dollars, and Champagne is a real category here, from grower houses like Bérêche et Fils and Ulysse Collin. It rewards a guest who knows white Burgundy and wants to dig, and it asks you to guide them confidently across a long, expensive book.
