In Paris, wine is everywhere you look\u2014but don\u2019t settle for the standard liquor store. Buying wine in France is a spiritual experience, and we\u2019ve got the inside scoop on the city\u2019s best selections.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

French wine isn\u2019t just about alcohol; it\u2019s much, much more. It\u2019s about terroir,<\/em> grape, flavor, climate and region\u2014and in France, wine is also about people. Winemakers tell a story, and we want to help you hear it, smell it and taste it. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve created the ultimate guide on where to buy wine in Paris.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Wondering<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This list includes some of the most passionate wine merchants in the city. Because selling wine isn\u2019t just a job here; it\u2019s a calling. And shopping isn\u2019t just spending money; it\u2019s a spiritual experience. Keep an open mind, be ready to try things you\u2019ve never heard of, and make some room in your suitcase for all the bottles you\u2019re going to fall in love with!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. L\u2019Etiquette<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

L’Etiquette<\/a> is located in the geographical and historical center of Paris. It’s our favorite wine shop on the \u00cele Saint Louis, with a totally natural selection and a pretty radical wine specialist on hand!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Herv\u00e9 will help you discover some low-intervention, rare finds\u2014bottles by young French winemakers you won\u2019t get anywhere else. To learn more, book a one-hour wine tasting with him. He\u2019ll give you the rundown of what natural wine is, and why we should all be drinking it.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Fall in love with natural wine at L’Etiquette.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tip:<\/strong> You can even store your luggage<\/a> here while you explore the area around Notre-Dame!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Crus et D\u00e9couvertes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tucked away in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, Crus et D\u00e9couvertes<\/a> is an Aladdin\u2019s cave of wine. With an amazing selection and two incredibly knowledgeable wine guys, it\u2019s a place for connoisseurs and curious novices alike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Be prepared to let the staff guide you, and to share your ideas and reservations. What occasion is the wine for? A celebration? A drink with new friends? A quiet night with you and your book? When buying wine, don\u2019t be afraid to share your ideas, reservations and feelings. This is a unique shop, with a rare selection and valuable knowledge, so make sure to take your time and ask questions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What\u2019s more, it\u2019s located on the cutest of backstreets, with some wonderful places to eat and drink in the area. Nip in next door to Terroirs d’Avenir<\/a> to grab a saucisson<\/em> and some cheese to accompany your ap\u00e9ritif, and visit celebrity baker Cyril Lignac\u2019s La P\u00e2tisserie<\/a> for the perfect baguette.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Chai Sophie Cott\u00e9 Sud<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This lovely little wine shop is named after its owner, who provides a wide selection from winemakers with a close connection to the land. Chai Sophie Cott\u00e9 Sud<\/a> focuses on the South of France, with particular emphasis on the Languedoc-Roussillon region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Languedoc is France\u2019s biggest wine-producing region, accounting for a third of all French wine. Just because it\u2019s especially known for bold, full-bodied reds, that doesn\u2019t mean you should overlook the whites. We especially love Languedoc winemaker Opi d\u2019Aqui<\/a>\u2014light, bright and totally surprising!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Don't\r\n
French white wines are more than deserving of your time!<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before visiting Chai Sophie, the perfect morning can be spent wandering around the nearby March\u00e9 d’Aligre<\/a>, one of Paris\u2019 only markets that runs six days a week. Try Les Provinces<\/a> for lunch; it\u2019s basically a butcher shop with tables (not recommended for vegetarians)!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. La Cave des Papilles<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

La Cave des Papilles<\/a> has something of a mythical quality among Parisian wine drinkers. Championing natural wine and small winemakers since 1996, this cellar has all the biggest names in French natural wine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ll often find the winemakers in the shop, too! Once a month a different winemaker is invited to host a tasting, usually before a crowd of adoring fans. Keep in mind that the tastings are always in French, but the staff speak great English.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"The\r\n
There’s no end to the magic you’ll discover in Paris’ best wine cellars.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. D\u00e9licatessen Cave<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Two steps from the trendy Marais district, D\u00e9licatessen<\/a> has a huge selection of wine, beer and spirits. Selling bottles with personality, this family-run cellar pays special attention to small winemakers and craft breweries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Check out the special selection of local Parisian beer! And if you need to take some weight off those tired feet, they have their own little bar just next door. It\u2019s the perfect place to refuel before heading off with your treasures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Ma Cave Fleury<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Run by a member of the Fleury family, this little bar should be the first port of call for Champagne lovers. The family has been making Champagne since 1895, and working without pesticides or other chemicals since 1989. The results are astounding.<\/p>\r\n

If you decide to stick around at Ma Cave Fleury<\/a> for a few glasses, we suggest the tasting flight to get a true understanding of the range of their Champagne. If you\u2019re only looking for a bottle to take away, we love the Sonate 2004 or the Fleur de l\u2019Europe (any year)!<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
