Eighth experience ... La Robe


This week your taste buds have decided to honor ... women! The perfect place to do this: “La Robe”, a wine that only serves wines created by women! This bar/restaurant located in front of the “mirroir d’eau”, is born of the of owner’s Alain desire to mix two of his passions: wine and women.

In this way, your two taste bud girls decided to offer themselves a feminine tasting this week and what a choice we had! In all 51 red wines among the very famous Château Troplong Mondot (Saint Emilion Grand Crus Classé), Château La Clotte (Saint-Emilion Grand Crus Classé) Château Talbot…, 14 rosés, 16 white wines, 6 sweet wines and 2 champagnes!


The colors of this bar are very girly without being too much, it is a place where we feel … good. 

Not only wines, but tapas are also proposed at “La Robe” for roughly 5 euros, a good starter before eating in their restaurant that offers affordable meals for only 20€ including starter, main course and dessert! On the menu: Roast beef, Beef tartare, lamb chops, stew of leeks and duck fillet, tuna steak…miam!



Our experience:

1. Château les Palais, red, Corbières, Anne de VOLENTAT BACHELET
Red cherry color with red crystallized fruits and slight pepper aroma felt to the nose and to the mouth. To the mouth the tannins are smooth, the hole is aromatic and full. Perfect to pair with a spicy dish!

2. Mas Karolina, red, Côtel Catalanes, created by Caroline BONVILLE
The syrah present in this wine gives a spicy nose that is also toasted with red fruit aromas and … coconut! To the mouth the texture is silky the tannins are suave and the fruits ripe due to the present of Grenache a very fruity a creamy grape variety.

Bye Bye Machism…women do make great wines !

To sum: this place is perfect for a girls night out! The place is cozy and girly and the ambiance is jazzy. The prices are more than affordable! Great women temple! This special place also offers many special events such as meetings with the wine growers ! 

Next special event: special meal for Valentines day ! Check out the meal on their website and reserve fast ...
