Bistro de Margot

The list reads like a love letter to France written by someone who actually knows the country — Bourgogne, Saumur, Savoie all showing up before you even get to page two. It's focused and intentional, which is more than you can say for most restaurants in Burlington. The room feels the part too: slick but not cold, the kind of place where ordering a Crémant feels completely natural.

The wine program leans hard into the French regions that actually deserve attention — not just Bordeaux and Burgundy red, but Aligoté from Bourgogne and a Chenin Blanc from Saumur that most local restaurants wouldn't touch. The Savoie Pinot Noir/Gamay blend is the kind of selection that signals someone behind the list has opinions. What we don't know is how deep the rabbit hole goes, since the full list size is unclear — but the handful of wines surfacing from the program suggest a curator with taste, not just a rep with a clipboard.

By-the-glass specifics are thin from what we could confirm, which is a frustration at a restaurant that otherwise signals wine seriousness. If the pours reflect the same regional focus as the bottle list, you're in decent shape — but we'd ask your server before committing, since rotation and availability weren't documented.
