Visiting Saint Emilion but don’t have time for a château visit? Stop by l’Envers du Decor for a cellar experience.
This Saint Emilion wine bistro is famous as the canteen for most of the right bank winemakers. Keen to allow his clients the experience of a barrel tasting, usually only available for visitors to a producers cellar, François de Lineris has brought in a barrel of his 2009 red wine. Made from vines in the Entre Deux Mers, under conversion to organic agriculture, but sold under a table wine appellation, François offers diners the possibility of trying a glass of the new vintage in the restaurant so they can experience an infant wine. The wine list also offers a wide range of wined by the glass from the region for those who have a less adventurous palate.
