First Impression
Walking into Coquette, the custom-built wine displays hit you before the menu does — this place wants you to know it takes wine seriously, and the list backs that up. A Best of Award of Excellence since 2022 in a room this polished sets expectations high, and the 250-400 bottle list mostly clears the bar.
Selection Deep Dive
The French backbone here is serious: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Henri Jayer sit at the top of the Burgundy section like they're daring you to order them, while Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Dujac give the list actual depth rather than just trophy labels. Champagne is equally strong with Krug and Bollinger representing both prestige and substance. Château Rayas and Domaine Weinbach round things out and signal that whoever built this list has taste beyond just chasing scores. The France-first focus means if you're hunting New World or anything off the beaten path, you may find the edges thin.
By the Glass
With 16-24 pours running $14–$22, the by-the-glass program is generous for a list this calibrated — Louis Jadot anchors the accessible end and gives you a reliable Burgundy option without committing to a bottle. The range is wide enough that you can genuinely explore across a meal rather than just defaulting to whatever's cheapest.
Louis Jadot Burgundy — $14-$18 by the glass
In a room full of four-figure bottles, a well-sourced Jadot by the glass lets you drink real Burgundy at a price that won't ruin your evening. Reliable, food-friendly, and a smart entry point into what this list does best.
Domaine Weinbach
Most tables at Coquette are laser-focused on Burgundy and Champagne, so the Weinbach gets overlooked — which is a mistake. Alsace at this level is among the most food-versatile wine on the list and a genuine bargain relative to its neighbors on the page.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Yes, DRC is on the list — and yes, that's genuinely impressive. But unless someone else is paying, the markup on trophy Burgundy in a restaurant setting is brutal. The wine is irreplaceable; the value is not.
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet + Atlantic crab fondue
Leflaive's Puligny brings enough texture and mineral tension to stand up to rich, briny crab without steamrolling it — this is exactly the kind of pairing that makes a great white Burgundy worth the price of admission.
🔥 The Bottom Line
Coquette is the rare Seaport spot where the wine list earns its own reservation — the French depth is real, the room matches the ambition, and the by-the-glass program is more than an afterthought. Just go in knowing you'll pay for the privilege.
