Third experience...Aux 4 Coins du Vin

It is while continuing our wine bar experience that we discovered a great place called “Aux 4 coins du vin”.

It is two former INSEEC students that are the owners of this wine bar in the heart of Place Saint Pierre in Bordeaux. “Aux 4 coins du vin” is born after the Australian experience of the two owners Benjamin and Clhoé (spelled correctly). In fact it is while their travel that they discovered a wine bar carrying a very high-tech machine that allows the good preservation of wine bottles once they are opened. In this way these machines are the best for wine by the glass! Nowadays very popular in Bordeaux (ex: vOv), it is “aux 4 coins du vin” who started to work with these special machines in Bordeaux.

32 different wines from all over the world are to be consumed by the glass. The prices are 2€ to 50€ the glass. Little story: it is a glass of Yquem that reached this price!

Thanks to the three machines spread in the wine bar the customers, with the help of a very special credit card, can go choose and serve themselves their wine. But of course if ever a question is to be asked, the staff of the bar will always be pleased to give good advice!

Our experience

            1- Bird in Hand, Clare Valley, Australia, white, 2011 

This 100% Riesling has a floral nose, is enjoyable with a great balance and a slight sensation of sugar. To the mouth the wine has a great structure. A light but floral and balanced wine.

2- Chinon Tradition Graves, Val de Loire, France, red, 2008

This strong and smoked wine reveals its silky tannins during the tasting such as spice and dark fruit aromas. This wine was a perfect match with the cheese tapas that we ate!

      3- Domaine des Tours, Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, red, 2009 

      This wine 100% Grenach reveals red fruit aromas followed by a long length in the mouth. This wine is light in tannins but very fruity and balanced.

      

           4- Calamar, Rueda, Spain, white, 2011

During the tasting of this Spanish wine, citrus aromas are expressed such as grapefruit combined with an extreme freshness

To summ: All the wines that we had were a great quality price ratio! Added up with the cold cut and cheese tapas that were by the way extremely good and the perfect size for four, our total was 10€ each! With its incredible choice of wines, low prices and welcoming staff, “Aux 4 coins du vin” is 
the place to be…
