Wines and spirits Aix-En-Provence

Don't miss this magnificent cellar on the Cours Mirabeau, in the same place as the Côté Cour restaurant, in the Arbaud-Jouques town house; go down to the right to the entresol to appreciate the coolness of this vaulted cellar, renovated to a high standard. A historic showcase for bottles from here and abroad, 500 references in wines, champagnes and spirits. Romain and Rebbeca Champetier de Ribes will introduce you to little marvels, confidential labels and also rums and gins (Romain's passion). Tasting takes place in the area reserved for spirits. Occasionally, winemakers come here to present their wines.

For some years, the Cellar des Domaines welcomes you, on this small commercial area where it is easy to park, near the motorway La Provençale. Here, Jacqueline receives you with great kindness and skill. The other Cellar of Domains is located in Célony, practice when you live on that side of Aix, and it's Ludovic who receives you. At both stores you find very good table wines at the tank at perfectly reasonable prices and a collection of bottles rigorously selected in the three colours, with a predominance, land force, in the rosé. AOC Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, wines of Provence, Bordeaux, Languedoc; and according to the years of Bandol, and some wines of Var and Vaucluse… We appreciate the excellent value for money and interesting selection of small producers.

On the plateau of Puyricard, come and discover this 15-hectare vineyard estate cultivated in organic mode. It was acquired in 1932. Today, it is Nathalie and Jean-Michel Escoffier who perpetuate the tradition, while respecting the vine, the environment, the taste and the scents. The wines are tasted on site, under the wise advice of Nathalie and Jean-Michel. Oenological entertainment, gastronomic entertainment, cooking classes, practical workshops on the vine follow one another throughout the year to the delight of connoisseurs and amateurs alike.

On the corner of rue Mignet and Constantin, this wine cellar is run by Coraline, a young woman with a passion for wine. Chai René, not as in King René, but as in Coraline's grandfather, who encouraged his granddaughter from the outset in this wonderful adventure: a lovely way to pay homage to him and to revive the tradition.
The place calls for tranquility on this busy street, the decor uncluttered, made from salvaged materials, such as old barrels or wine crates, a young and assumed side by today's standards. You'll find the perfect bottle for a dinner with friends, as well as fine spirits and local and international beers... no fewer than 400 references and, of course, Coraline's expert advice. Follow her humorous instagram! And Mignet's day gust from April to October, a convivial get-together once or twice a month on Thursdays from 6pm. Tastings are accompanied by charcuterie and cheeses.
