Wines and spirits Auxerre

For more than 20 years, this family business has been offering a vast choice of wines and spirits. Marc Ragaine was elected best independent wine merchant in the world. He was a sommelier at the Tour d'Argent in Paris, but also^3rd best young sommelier in France and best young sommelier in Paris. He will be able to advise you and adapt to what suits you among his 700 references, for all budgets. In addition, there is a judicious choice of subtle nectars, and many gift ideas. An excellent address that we warmly recommend.

If the brand is national, no Comptoir des Vignes is the same, as the personality of its wine merchant has a lot to do with the offer. Ex-sommelier, the sympathetic Jérôme will know perfectly how to advise you among the multitude of references sold here: wines and champagnes, but also whiskies and rums from all over the world, cognacs and armagnacs, beers, waters, fruit juices and other artisanal syrups... In the delicatessen section, local sweets will inevitably attract your attention, while a wide selection of coffees and teas is also available.

In addition to a rich selection of wines and spirits, you'll be able to take advantage (at the foot of the Tour de l'Horloge) of numerous regional products. These include Fallet mustards, Morvan honeys, Maison Marc gherkins and Festins de Bourgogne terrines. Not to mention the many gift ideas on offer (gourmet gift sets, wine-related accessories, etc.). What's more, when the weather's fine, the house has a terrace for a drink, just behind it, on the Place du Maréchal Leclerc. In short, this beautiful address will delight the most epicurean among us!

Bar and cellar in one, here you have everything you need to taste before you buy! There's a vast choice of beers, wines, rums and whiskies. From Burgundy, France and Navarre! At the bar, you're sure to nibble on local cheeses and charcuterie to accompany a Clamecy beer or an Irancy red. On the entertainment front, V & B regularly organizes themed events and concerts. Very popular for afterworks. Only one regret, on the cellar side: prices are a little high and there's not enough choice of entry-level wines..

Xavier Julien has always been passionate about his estate and one day wanted to create it. After a BTS in Viticulture and Oenology, he planted his first vines in 1997 in Auxerre-Vaux (in a place called "la Côte d'Or"). Now at the head of 4.7 hectares (in Auxerre and Chablisien), he is today the only independent winegrower in Auxerre. His estate, which takes its name from an old fortified tower in the town, offers chardonnay and pinot noir, including a burgundy côtes-d'auxerre "Terroir de Vaux" and a chablis Premier cru "Les Fourneaux".

In place of the former Le Millesime restaurant, Jérémy Richard and Paul Venon recently opened the Cave icaunaise, offering a fine selection of regional wines, beers and spirits, as well as local products from small Yonne producers. Delicacies to take away or enjoy on the premises, as the establishment also offers a snack bar. Entertainment is also regularly organized (sports broadcasts, karaoke, etc.). All in a particularly warm and friendly pub atmosphere.

Here you will find the beer that will tickle your taste buds. Famous brands, others less known, but just as tasty, foreign beers, craft beers... A tasting area that can be privatized, gift boxes, and advice given by a welcoming and dynamic team. Also note the broadcasting of sports events and the organization of concerts for evenings more than nice. And the afterworks are always well attended. A sure value!
