Wine shop owned by Stéphane Planche, until recently chief sommelier for Restaurant Jean-Paul Jeunet, and a passionate and knowledgeable ambassador for the region. Offers an excellent selection of Jura wines from smaller growers that might be hard to visit with several wines usually open to taste. Examples include the wines from the relatively young, modern Domaine de l’Octavin and old vintages from the very traditional estate Camille Loye. Wines from other areas are also available. If Stéphane is there, you will receive plenty of good advice about who to visit and what to taste. For those who read basic wine French, note that the website offers technical sheets on all the main wines stocked. Tutored tastings possible for groups. In 2010 they opened a small wine bar, offering wines by the glass and small plates to eat too.
