Wines and spirits Angoulême

Beyond the chic, understated front of La Cave de la Madeleine, reminiscent of an old-fashioned boutique, the interior is just as elegant, with attractive flooring and a vaulted cellar where you can take part in tastings, events and wine and food pairing advice.

Carefully selecting the "magicians" as he calls them, this attentive and friendly caviste offers wines from France, from Alsace crus to south-western varietals, and spirits, mostly French, but also foreign, such as rare Japanese whiskies, in all over 200 references.

Passing through the door of this wine shop means becoming an apprentice oenologist for the duration of a tasting session with Pascal Merle. Specializing in Charente wines, you'll find what you're looking for in the wide range of references and regions, including champagne.

The roundness of the counter, the burgundy color of the walls, the ruby glow of the bottles: the whole store is an ode to wine products.

Ideal for an outing with friends, to buy a bottle or taste directly at the counter over small bites, all at affordable prices.
