First experience ... Verre O Vin

Verre O Vin, 43 rue Borie - Bordeaux

Our first Bordeaux wine bar experience led us to Verre O Vin located in the heart of the Chartrons in Bordeaux. 

This wine bar was our first pick by its unique interior: in fact it was built in an old wine cellar in this way beautiful white rocks, typical of Bordeaux, surround the place. Wines by the glass from all over the world: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Argentina, New Zealand, South Africa are served in two service machines that can each gather 16 bottles.

Verre O Vin's service machines

The team invented a “prepaid” card system which can hold a 50€ credit. In this way you can drink the wines you want in the machines and then go to the register to pay the amount due. Prices per glass go from 3,80€ to 9€.

Several tapas can be enjoyed with the glass of wine you will experience: foie gras, cheeses, cheasecake, tarts, desserts, ham etc. Thanks to the good advice of the welcoming team, perfect food parings can be made!

Beautiful glasses created by Arnaud Barrate are used for the tastings. These ones are very special because they were made to reveal aromas at their best! These amazing glasses are on sale in the bar! Great idea for a Christmas gift!

Our experience:

• Diamandes de Uco –  Mendoza - 2010 (3,90€) White 72% Chardonnay, 28% Viognier, a superb wine that is fresh and reveals citrus aromas. A silky while thick structure, very enjoyable with an explosion of fruit and flower aromas. A must to drink !
• Marlborough Premium – 2010 (4,10€) Red 100% Pinot noir, a subtil wine with dark fruit aromas whose complexity is increased thanks to the barrel aging. A great wine but better if aged a little more
• Beaune 1^er Cru – 2008 (4,90€) Red: 100% Pinot noir, a wine with a beautiful grimsom color with to the nose, intense smoky aromas, spices and ripe fruits. Outstanding nose!

To summ : An enjoyable place, very welcoming in the heart of the chartrons in Bordeaux. Perfect to meet up with friends for a unique tasting experience of wines for all over the world. Experienced people to advise you on the wine such as food paring. A good quality/price ratio!
