Caves à vin- Maisons des vins Nancy

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.

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.
