Avis sur Bouquet Des Vins

So fascinating selection. Not a lot of wine, but there's stuff going back 50 years here. For some reason, an obscene amount of Jaboulet, so if that's your thing hit this immediately. I'm talking multiple decades worth. Anyway, I just wanted a fun wine, and I like asking for advice from the staff. So I say, "Hey, I'm looking for a nice wine between $20-40." I'm not asked any questions, what I'm looking for or what style I like. Nope. He goes straight to a wine that happens to be the most stocked wine at the store. The price: $40. But it gets better. The wine is from Corbieres. I'm skeptical, to say the least, but I'm pretty sure he owns the store, and why would he pawn a mediocre wine on a customer. It couldn't be because he thought the dumb American wasn't coming back anyway so why not unload some overpriced plonk, right? Anyway, I go to open the bottle that night and realize it's in a blue bottle. How is it? Well, if it was $15 on the United States I'd say no comment. But this is $40 in Paris. It's an overripe, stewy bottle of raisins. Hey Mr. Owner, congratulations on hitting every French stereotype to a T. Meanwhile, we went to a wine bar down the street and tried six small glasses of wine, all recommended by the owner and guess what, they cost the same amount total as the overripe prunes this guy sells me. Guess where we are going tomorrow? Two stars because there is some really interesting stuff here, although I'd wonder about provenance.

Boutique d’exception ! Bouteilles de qualité, service très agréable. Christophe (le gérant) saura vous conseiller de manière claire et efficace en s’adaptant à vos goûts. Je recommande très fortement !!

High quality products, the owner is very friendly and always has the best advice. Without a doubt one of the very best adresses in Paris.

Thank you for your wise counsel! I loved the shop and the champagne that I bought was very well received.

Really enjoyed purchasing wine from this store. There was not too much discussion, just enough for the proprietor to suggest an appropriate wine.
