First Impression
Six original Toulouse-Lautrec lithographs, Moulin Rouge drama, and a wine list that opens with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti — Lautrec is not playing games. This is a resort fine dining room that actually earned its Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, and has held it since 2011. You feel the seriousness of the program before the bread basket hits the table.
Selection Deep Dive
Four hundred to six hundred bottles anchored in France, with Burgundy and Bordeaux doing the heavy lifting — Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet and Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin represent the approachable end, while Château Pétrus and Château Margaux sit at the top for the big spenders. California gets a proper seat at the table with Screaming Eagle, Opus One, and Caymus Special Selection, and Italy shows up with serious players in Gaja Barbaresco and Antinori Tignanello. This is not a list assembled by a purchasing manager clicking through a distributor catalog — someone with genuine knowledge built this. The gaps are minimal; the depth is real.
By the Glass
With 15 to 25 pours available, the by-the-glass program is generous for a restaurant operating at this level, where most comparable rooms push you toward bottles. We'd expect the glass list to skew toward accessible Burgundy and Bordeaux-adjacent options that echo the cellar's strengths without cracking open the heavy hitters. Rotation details aren't publicly documented, but at a property like Nemacolin, expect the list to move with the season.
Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin — $100
In a list that climbs to the stratosphere fast, Jadot's Gevrey-Chambertin is your foothold into serious Burgundy without the vertigo. It's a name you can trust, a village that delivers, and at this address it's the most honest entry point on the card.
Antinori Tignanello
Everyone in the room is eyeing the Bordeaux and Burgundy, and Tignanello just sits there quietly being one of the great Italian reds of the last 50 years. Sangiovese-Cabernet from one of Tuscany's founding families, and it gets underordered at French restaurants every single time. Their loss, your gain.
Caymus Vineyards Special Selection
Caymus Special Selection is a fine wine. It's also a wine you can find at a hundred restaurants and two dozen wine shops between here and Pittsburgh. At resort markup prices, you're paying a premium for something with zero surprise factor. Go deeper into this list — you're at Lautrec, not an airport steakhouse.
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet + Dover sole
Puligny-Montrachet from Leflaive is one of the great white Burgundies alive, all tension and mineral precision with enough weight to handle a proper Dover sole. The saline, buttery qualities in both go back and forth like a conversation — neither one overpowers, both get better. This is the move.
🔥 The Bottom Line
Lautrec is the rare resort restaurant that actually justifies the fine dining price of entry — the wine program is deep, focused, and lovingly assembled, even if the markups reflect the address. If you're making the drive to Nemacolin, drink the Burgundy and don't look at the bill until tomorrow.
