First Impression

The wine list arrives like a hardbound novel — and at 1,800 to 2,500 selections, it reads like one too. Crystal chandeliers, fresh flowers the size of small trees, and a room that whispers 'this is serious' before you've touched the menu. This is not a list assembled by a hotel F&B committee — it's a statement.

Selection Deep Dive

Burgundy and Bordeaux are the twin pillars, and they are stacked: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanée, Leroy Musigny, Domaine Leflaive Montrachet, and Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet represent the kind of depth that makes collectors call ahead. Bordeaux runs the full classified-growth spectrum, with Château Pétrus, Château Le Pin, Château Mouton Rothschild, and Château Latour all present. Champagne holds its own with Krug Clos du Mesnil 2012, Salon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs, and Dom Pérignon P2 — not filler bottles, actual prestige cuvées. California shows up meaningfully with Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, and Opus One, and the Rhône contingent includes E. Guigal La Landonne and Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage — this is a Wine Spectator Grand Award list that has held its credential since 2009 for very good reason.

By the Glass

Twenty to thirty-five pours by the glass is a generous spread for a room this formal, and the program reflects the cellar's seriousness rather than just defaulting to house Burgundy and calling it done. Sommeliers Thomas Ratcliff and Igor Rosas run the floor, and they'll actually talk you through the glass list without making you feel interrogated. Sunday's half-price wine night is when the real action happens — more on that below.

💰Best Value

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 — $325

At a room where bottles routinely breach four figures, $325 for DP 2015 is the most accessible entry point on a legitimately elite Champagne list — and it's the kind of wine that makes the whole evening feel like an occasion without requiring a second mortgage.

💎Hidden Gem

Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 2018

Everyone eyes the Burgundy and Bordeaux trophies, and La Landonne gets overlooked. That's a mistake — Guigal's single-vineyard La Landonne is one of the most age-worthy, structured Syrahs on the planet, and at $650 it's practically an underdog in this room.

Skip This

Opus One 2019

At $550 a bottle, Opus One is the wine you order when you want to signal that you know wine — but don't. It's widely available retail, heavily traded, and at this price point there are a dozen more compelling bottles on this list that your table will actually remember.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes 2018 + La Langoustine

Leflaive's Les Combettes is all tension and minerality with enough richness to match the sweetness of the langoustine — it's the kind of pairing where neither the wine nor the dish finishes without the other.

🍷Half-Price Wine Night

SundayHalf-price wine night every Sunday — the single best opportunity to drink from this cellar without requiring a full expense account.

🔥 The Bottom Line

Joël Robuchon is the rare Strip restaurant where the wine list is as serious as the kitchen — this is a destination list, not a hotel afterthought. If you're going to spend real money on a bottle anywhere in Las Vegas, it's here.
