Wines and spirits Perpignan

Jean-François and Laurence present highly aromatic, fine, elegant wines, made in the pure tradition of the region's representative grape varieties. This is one of the few wineries that is within walking distance of Perpignan. It is close to the city, yet far from it. The diversity of the wines of this domain is explained by the variety of the soils: the vines are planted on 3 types of soil: limestone on Calce, black schist in Espira de l'Agly and rolled pebbles around the domain. Finally, the other strong point of this domain is the reception in gites.

This cellar has the most well-stocked champagne corner in the department. But if its reputation was made around bubbles, one should not forget that the cellarman is a finder of exceptional wines. As he likes to say, he is the specialist of "artisan winemakers" in particular. What the Petit Futé will remember are the memorable themed evenings on one Thursday a month with the winegrowers for private tastings, by invitation. And every other Thursday, tasting evenings with tapas around the barrels laid out on the sidewalk.

The list of winegrowers associated with the Caves du Roussillon is not very long, but it is above all very prestigious. Within this rigorous selection at domain prices, we find the tenors of the region, but also some lesser known domains. Not forgetting some Languedoc wines and a fine collection of spirits and sparkling wines. And at the Caves du Roussillon, the whole team always suggests you taste before making your choice. They don't hesitate to uncork a bottle to share their passion with you!

A successful conversion for this physics and chemistry teacher, who decided to take a new turn in his life. Laurent's beers are brewed with organic French malts and hops. Brewed on site, in the heart of Perpignan, the beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized and refermented in the bottle. As for alcohol content, the Boc is 5° for the white and 5.5° for the others. The best thing to do is to come and taste it directly at the brewery, a magical place where, between the clinking of glasses, good words and laughter flow.

Just a stone's throw from the Castillet, Nasser, a connoisseur of bottles and gourmet products, welcomes you to his boutique, offering a fine range of fine wines and champagnes. Enjoy fine tapas accompanied by wines from the cellar... and take in the view of the Castillet from the balcony. In his new bodega, Nasser has thought of everything to give you a real bacchic moment. Ideas abound, and he regularly pulls new recipes out of his hat. The winemakers are there too, where you can taste, share and enjoy life! Le Petit Futé loves it.

There are two lovely shops that praise wine: grand cru and small estates from here and elsewhere, as well as a fine range of natural sweet wines. Local winemakers come to talk about their wines on Thursday evenings, with tastings accompanied by tapas. Depending on what's going on, the tastings are based on a particular theme: new wines, rums, champagnes, whiskies... La Part des Anges is also a whisky expert with a hundred references and clearly displays its passion for sweet wines and rancios.

Jean-Pierre Rudelle is an epicurean of wine, you are sure to find here a particularly careful selection of the best Domains of Roussillon and France. But also tasting courses in a very trendy setting. Le Comptoir follows the latest wine news with a calendar of seasonal events. From Thursday to Saturday evenings, the Comptoir des Crus offers tastings of wines from guest producers and advice from professional oenophiles. A valuable address for terroir lovers.

For several years now, Guillaume's professionalism has been a reference in the wine world. Having been through all the stages, from production to sales for 15 years, he knows what he is talking about. Moreover, he organizes wine tasting evenings in order to make you appreciate the different vintages of our regions, with a special emphasis on the wines of Roussillon. This lover of the "divine juice" will take you to discover the many terroirs that make up the richness of our cultural heritage. The Maillol cellars are constantly growing and diversifying and we love it.

Vincoeur Catalan is a family business, with knowledge passed down from father to son. The wines and local products are selected from all over the Roussillon region, thanks to a precise and serious approach to the terroirs and estates of the Catalan region. In the large Perpignan boutique (the other is in Elne), you'll also find carefully selected French spirits and a fine selection of craft beers. As for the advice, it's precise and complete, with a smile and good humor to boot... Bacchus was no sad man.
