La Cave Galeries Lafayette

In the gastronomic heart of Paris, a sanctuary for wine lovers has emerged that defies the conventional wine shop narrative. Welcome to Duclot La Cave, situated elegantly on the first floor of the Galeries Lafayette's Gourmet store.

A Selection Beyond Compare

Duclot La Cave is not just another wine store; it's an expedition through the finest vineyards of France and beyond.  Offering a staggering 2,500 references, the establishment has curated an unparalleled collection direct from châteaux, estates, and renowned winemakers.

For Bordeaux enthusiasts, the collection is nothing short of monumental, featuring the globe's most extensive selection, including all nine top-ranking crus. But the magic doesn't end there; bottles from nascent vintners begin at an accessible €4.90.

 Personalized Services: The Ultimate Luxury

Yet, what sets Duclot La Cave apart is its inimitable approach to customer service. With a team of ten seasoned sommeliers fluent in five languages (from English and French to Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese) visitors are offered bespoke guidance tailored to their wine needs and preferences.
From the novice to the discerning collector, all patrons can avail themselves of personalized advice, whether they're in search of an elegant gift or the epitome of wine and food pairings.  

Also, for those residing within Paris, spending €50 grants you complimentary local delivery, complete with reinforced packaging for your airborne bottles. And to put the proverbial cherry on top, tax-free shopping and VIP welcomes in a private lounge make for an exquisite shopping journey.

Sit it at the chic industrial-style counter and dive into a world where Bordeaux's grandest estates meet Rhône Valley gems, expertly curated selections from Burgundy, Alsace, and the Jura. Whether you're enjoying a casual aperitif with friends or seeking a bottle that demands to be savored, the in-house sommeliers have got you covered.

If you're looking to elevate your wine knowledge, keep an eye out for their regular tastings and masterclasses featuring guest sommeliers and winemakers. Yes, that's right! Le Bar de La Cave is not just about sipping wine; it’s about learning the story behind each bottle.

We are confident that you'll be very satisfied with whatever you choose, as we only carry wines that have been rigorously selected by French wine experts. The price per glass is also quite reasonable given the quality offered.

Complementing your liquid journey are sharing platters crafted by some of France’s top gastronomic artisans. Picture this: Maison Le Bourdonnec charcuterie, Petrossian caviar, tarama, and fish rillettes, all paired with exceptional wines. 

The sommelier was extremely friendly and provided detailed explanations about the wines and cheeses. Sampling a few varieties here before starting your wine shopping could be a great approach. To have a truly authentic wine tasting experience, it's recommended to also order some of the cheeses and charcuterie that are unique to France.
