For our fifth Bordeaux wine bar experience we
have decided to change completely this time and show you an associative wine
bar: no outstanding furniture (random chairs and tables) and no high-tech
machine, but what a great place we discovered …
More traditional, this wine bar has an actual
wine card very rich in content: wines from Bordeaux, Grands Crus Classés, wines
from Burgundy, Loire Valley, Languedoc Roussillon, Champagne, Rhone Valley,
South-West of France, Rosés, Wine in Tube AND MANY MORE! All these wines can be
bought online or
in the wine shop to carry back home! For those who want to drink in the bar, these
same wines can be drank by the glass or even the bottle for those who want a
full experience! The glasses of wines are well filled for really reasonable
prices going from 3€ to 8€ the glass.
The owner is very nice and he selects the music
from his own MacBook, and sometimes he even lets the customers put their own
music on! Usually the music chosen is a selection of Jazz and Soul which enters
completely in agreement with the inside atmosphere: old stones of Bordeaux and
old oak barrels which are used for the tastings.
Finally tapas are proposed at
a very reasonable price (less than 10 Euros) of “pâté de campagne”, “mousse de
canard”, sausage, cheese etc.
Not only in the back of the wine bar is a pool
table for those who want to play a game! And it is also possible to play board
games in this wine bar, what makes the atmosphere friendlier.
Our experience :
1. Domaine Yann Chave – Crozes-Hermitage 2010 – red
4,5€ the glass, 22,5€ for the bottle:
A unique grape variety 100% Shiraz. It is an
excellent Crozes-Hermitage, supple in the mouth, fresh, fruity with a nice
acidity. Its purple color and its spicy aromas remind the tipicity of the
Shiraz. This wine is really well-balanced and good for ageing at least for 5
years up to 10 years.
2. Vouvray – La Richaudière 2003 – Loire
valley – 3€ the glass, 12,5€ the bottle:
Half dry white wine from the Loire Valley, delicate
nose, with notes of white flowers, fruits and anise. In
the mouth the wine is very round due to its content in sugar. The final is
fresh. Good length with some fat, elegant wine. Perfect for an aperitif or accompanied
with tapas!
