Wines and spirits Nancy

For eleven years, Léon has been able to make a name for itself among the independent wine merchants of Nancy. The reason? A warm welcome, sound advice from the sommelier and a large selection of available references (nearly 600!). Wine, of course, for all budgets and tastes, but also champagne and spirits... La Cave de Léon also organizes afterwork sessions with winegrowers who come from all over France to help you discover their products in a good mood. Léon also comes to your events and privatizes the cellar.

In Nancy, the specialist of arranged rum is Kévin Juliac, who created his store a few years ago. His bottles are sold in local wine shops, but also in breweries throughout France, and of course, on his website. Deeply ecological, Kevin Juliac always favors short circuits and local products, such as the honey from Lorraine that we find in the surprising and delicious honey-cinnamon or ginger associations. More original, the Umami, from Japan, stimulates the whole palate. A RhumArrangerie to discover!

Four wine enthusiasts will introduce you to their exceptional cellar: Aurore Clos, a regular sommelier in Nancy; Romuald Moriau, a finalist in the 1998 Best Young Sommelier of France competition; and two equally indispensable young sommeliers. This team can advise you on how to take top-quality wines home with you, or enjoy them on site, at parties or events. It's a very friendly store, with affordable prices.

With moderation, it is not forbidden to taste the drinks of the IPN. Located in the center of Nancy, this wine bar comes alive at aperitif time, then in the evening, until late at night. Wooden tables and wine barrels invite you to drink a glass of wine, from here or elsewhere, in a good-natured atmosphere (remember to raise your head for the balloons). The wide choice of beers has recently been completed by delicious ciders and spirits. It is possible to privatize and recommended to reserve. Remember: Wednesday is IPN!

A historic address for good bottles and good advice, for 25 years already! The secret to its longevity? The nearly 850 estate wines and grands crus, 70 champagnes, 350 whiskies, 80 rums, 30 cognacs and armagnacs... but also the good humor and efficiency of the team led by wine specialist Gauthier Maire. As an added bonus, the chic, well-appointed boutique is particularly warm and welcoming. Tasting sessions are available, as is a 70^m2 room for seminars or private parties.

The three musketeers who make up the team of the Cave du Faubourg make people love the dive bottle like no other. They talk about wines as fine connoisseurs, borrowing from the language of the winemakers. Their cellar is supplied with more than 400 references all year long, from the most beautiful regions of France and even from abroad. There is no doubt about it: you can see the passion for teaching, an obvious joy of sharing, which you can find during tastings or initiations. Here is a beautiful place of communion. Free parking on site.

Tables and high stools; in the center, a large wine barrel and a collection of labels on the ceiling. Here, the Mercier brothers offer wines gleaned from the French vineyards. Trained as sommeliers, they have been offering their favorites for the past thirty years, favoring biodynamic wines. So, won over by their own pleasure and knowledge, we discover unknown vintages and marvelous vineyards, to leave sometimes with a few bottles bought at the Cordonnerie across the street. A wine shop as we like them, friendly and authentic.

A huge choice of references, from Belgium, the country of beer, but also from America and elsewhere. Beers that are rare or even impossible to find in France. Here, we go off the beaten track and we take advice on Trappist beers, IPAs, Satan and Judas with very inspiring names. For gifts, bet on advent calendars. Renting professional taps and buying equipment to make your own brew, tasting workshops and growler beers (1 or 2l draught): the Capsule does not leave amateurs without solutions!

An independent wine shop ideally located in the old town, Vino Grande Rue offers a wide range of wines, whiskies, arranged rums, spirits and wine-related items. The team is not stingy with advice for the epicurean in you! Would you like some advice on how to accompany a dish or a gift? Don't hesitate to ask our wine merchants, who will guide you with their expertise and, above all, their passion. Their mission is to showcase talented winemakers, whether they're already well-established or promising newcomers, and to share their know-how and rich heritage!

La Cordonnerie is here. L'Echanson is across the street. The Mercier brothers, Alex and Serge, know between them how to order the choice of wines. Let's meet in the store, where the cobbler is this time well shod. Wines for tasting in the Echanson bar and on the shelves; there are always glasses at the cash register on the large table. Word of wine lovers who know how to find rarities, this address, we order it, note it. And so much the worse for the purse strings.
