Wines and spirits Paris 4th 75004

Philippe is a former executive in the IT. A grandson of winemakers and especially a passionate wine lover, he decides to take everything to dedicate himself to his passion. His approach is original: he conceives a space on two levels of 100 m² entirely dedicated to wine tasting and, of course, for sale as at a winemaker. We are impressed by the stonewalling of machines where the distribution system allows the conservation of wine. About 200 references, including 80 to tasting, the choice is wide, surprising, and all the great wine regions are represented. To begin his trip, the visitor is given a registered magnetic card that he uses to select the desired wine. he then can get served of the desired dose - 3, 6 or 12 cl - to accompany the tasting of "cornets" of charcuterie or cheese and set up on a small bistrot table or in the living room corner. A smart system, since it is obviously only the dose chosen is paid thus and without abuse, allows to discover several wines by tasting. The choices of "cellar master" at the top of modernity for the concept, are often favourites, and always well-thought selections of safe values or novelties. Once a month, amateurs meet winemakers and tastings take place along with concerts. Philippe has arranged the space a little like the cellar of an individual. Wood, warm stones and copper combine beautifully to bring a warm atmosphere. The basement rooms are privatized.  

An original merchant, but in his way: A little messy shop is a veritable cave of Ali Baba, full of treasures, that one cooks with the help of Philippe and Stéphane, from the small winemaker to the vineyard stars (Joblot, Lamarche, Forey, Bouchard father and son, Big brother and sister, DRC, Cuilleron, Gerin, Alphonse Melot, Château, Château-Myrat, Krug, Château-Myrat, Krug, Bollinger, Jablonski, etc.). The boss lets you decorate his storefront in a fun, sometimes even delirious way.
