The best wine bars France

Laurent Lacouture's L'Art Dit Vin is more than just a wine cellar; it's also a place for sharing and tasting. Our sommelier, who has a background in the hotel and restaurant business and worked for Trama at L'Aubergade (2 Michelin stars) in Puymirol, has created the concept of a wine bar in Biarritz. A fine selection of wines from France and around the world are served at the counter in a convivial atmosphere, as are the fine charcuterie platters on offer. A wonderful discovery.

Sommelier de France, Betty will convince you with a large wine list and a nice selection mixing prestigious labels and wines from small owners. After a visit to the bar with a board, it's time for an authentic meal with quality products. The warm and relaxed atmosphere of this bar-resto, as well as its delicious gins, make it a real institution in the Dunkirk area. The Apéro Bistrot is open on the Apéro Resto, a rotisserie.

The evenings in noyonnais have become a lot livelier since this establishment opened! You can eat and drink here: there's a wine bar with expert advice and a great atmosphere.

But who are the Pinard brothers, settled in the most charming alley of Old Lille? Germain and Geoffroy, two childhood friends with a passion for wine and local produce! Far from the subdued, elitist image of wine bars, the address has been designed as a cosy, no-frills grocery bar. The star here is the wine, of course, but also the accompaniments: the menu, divided into five French regions, offers five wines, charcuterie and cheese by the slice for each region, carefully selected from small producers. A gustatory Tour de France!

Gueuleton is the den of the living good! Here, we don't have sad wine. It must be said that the mature meat, the good mood of the Gascony and the 1,000 references of wines and champagnes combined are perfect antidotes to fight against gloom. The ideal place to share a good time with friends over a few tapas, a plate of cold cuts of Albret black pigs or a rib of beef cooked in lava stone. Throughout the year, Le Gueuleton also organizes themed evenings featuring Beaujolais, oysters, truffle tapas... enough to make a good meal! And recently caterer with his giant spit!

Don't put your elbows on the table! We all heard that as kids! Maxime (kitchen) and Aline (dining room), a dynamic duo in life and in the city, have come up with a wine bar where you can enjoy red, white and rosé wines, as well as natural champagnes from organic and biodynamic farming, over a plank of wine. Atypical, this "home-style" bar, with its wood, table-top seating and that little je-ne-sais-quoi of familiarity, almost makes you want to put your feet up too... on the table.

Hadrian has taken over the Canard Bleu, the Carcassonne epicurean and aesthete's den, set up a few years ago by the traveler chef Robert Haumont. Since then, the place has been called the aptly named Tasting Room, to get away from the crowds of the city center. Don't talk to him about his famous American origins because our international wine merchant likes to remain discreet. He prefers to emphasize his Italian side, which he has well represented in his cellar with wines that make you travel. You can also find local wines and "fatto in Italia" pizzas.

This store offers you a beautiful selection of champagnes, nearly 500 references from about fifty local and independent producers, sold at the price of the property.

The store also organizes tastings throughout the year to discover the producers of the region.

L'Apothicaire is the ideal place to spend a good evening with friends, to taste delicious wines, to feast on aperitif boards made of fine charcuteries or rare cheeses and to learn a lot of things about the world of good food. Fred, the owner, is not shy and likes to talk about his products and tell you anecdotes. He defines himself as a "taste buds dresser". On the terrace and in the calm of the pedestrian street or in one of the two rooms with their refined decoration which brilliantly combine old and modern, we simply love it!

Le 88, located on Place aux Herbes, is the city's hottest spot. Momo's good humor is contagious. He always has the right words and ideas to make the place as convivial as possible. A modern dining room, a young clientele, a very large terrace. On tables or barrels, you can enjoy hearty tapas such as camembert persillé or a foie gras plank, followed by pizza, a burger or a generous salmon tartare. The evenings are often enlivened by live music.

This wine cellar is a little gem. This establishment has focused on quality and above all organic, biodynamically-produced vintages: the result is that we love this pretty address with its professional yet friendly spirit. 400 French wines are listed, with an emphasis on local estates and regions such as Savoie and Corsica. Here, the selection is tasted and tested by the winemakers, guaranteeing exquisiteness. Craft beers, a variety of spirits and monthly events with featured winemakers enrich the experience. Gustatory pleasures are not forgotten, with marinades of Pyrenean trout, charcuterie and cheeses. Chez Max, an address not to be missed!

When two passionate winemakers share their love of good things and good local products, it gives a friendly address not to be missed in Montlouis-sur-Loire.

On the terrace, you will be able to taste local or foreign wine, with good planks or plates of local products. Finally, the welcome is warm.

In the heart of the city, on the Place de la République, Le Vin Te Deux is ideally located under the arcades. Meet friends and share their delicious homemade tapas.

A must to add to your cocktails a touch of the Limoux region. A very popular place, it is better to reserve, especially for the wine and music evenings.

Vindiou is the ideal bar to sip a (very) good glass of wine, around a plate or a board to be shared with bread, cheese and quality charcuterie chosen with care. Nicolas, the owner, is a passionate person, who has made it a point to offer only organic and natural wines, from "winegrower friends", good known vintages or those that deserve to be known, to "finally know what we drink, vindiou de vindiou Enough to get a nice idea of the atmosphere of the place, redesigned with raw materials worthy of a real wine cellar. Cheers!

Le Onze is set in a former fisherman's house on the harbor's Jacobsen Jetty, with a warm, welcoming decor and a pleasant patio/terrace at the rear.

Le 11 is open from morning to night, so you can enjoy breakfast or brunch for late risers, or accompany a plate of charcuterie, cheese or smoked fish, rillettes, oysters, tartines... with a good glass of wine.

A wine cellar, wine bar and restaurant concept: that's what this national brand, based in the Halles district of Paris, is all about.

The other good news is the high-quality, home-cooked cuisine on offer at weekends.

We discovered some delicious small vintages, accompanied by local cheeses and charcuterie. Listening to this kind, tender and modest man comment on a tasting, guiding your taste buds and your senses is pure happiness. We love it!
