Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Claud's beverage program is anchored by a serious wine list that leans heavily into grower Champagne and top-tier Burgundy, with bottles ranging from $98 to nearly $5,000. By-the-glass pours start at $20, offering accessible entry points. The beer and non-alcoholic selections are small but functional. This is a wine-first room where the list does the talking.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Stéphane Coquillette 'Inflorescence' Brut by the glass, or explore the Champagne list for grower and prestige cuvées. For Burgundy, seek out Dauvissat or Coche-Dury if the budget allows. The Boisson 'Les Cailloux' Rully offers a value white Burgundy pour.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts looking for a deep Champagne and Burgundy selection, particularly those interested in grower producers and aged vintages. The accessible by-the-glass pricing also suits casual drinkers wanting a quality pour without committing to a bottle.
- When should I go?
- Evenings when the full wine list is in play; reservations are competitive, so plan ahead. The bar may be best for a focused wine tasting rather than a quick drink.
- What should I expect to spend?
- By-the-glass wines range from $20 to $32; bottles start around $95 for Burgundy and $98 for Champagne, with prestige cuvées reaching into the thousands. Beers are $7 to $17, and the NA beer is $8.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The wine list's depth in grower Champagne and cult Burgundy producers like Raveneau and Leflaive sets it apart. The presence of natural wines and a sake section adds breadth, while the by-the-glass program keeps things approachable.
