This rating is for La Fine Bulle as wine shop and bar, not the restaurant which is down the street.
Had a lovely evening sitting at the bar, sharing champagne with the other patrons. Bartender / wine seller was very knowledgeable and I got a number of burning questions answered - I had been on 2 cave tours by this point and had lots to talk about. I was fortunate enough to be seated next to a winemaker from Australia on a pilgrimage, who was generous with his opinions, knowledge, and open bottles of champagne!
After having tried a house sampler of champagnes, and after sharing a few bottles, I picked up a few bottles to take home at shop prices. Got my favorite bottle for only 16 Euro, I'm sure it would be $40 in my home, Seattle.
Note the shop prices bit - drinking at this bar, I was charged wine shop prices, not bar prices. I drank onsite and took home bottles, and it was a huge bargain, probably the only time I could make that claim visiting France! read more
