My colleagues and I stopped in on our way to dinner, just before the shop closed for the day. I…read morewanted to take home some regional wines and was assisted by a very nice gentleman. He inquired about my wine tastes, price range and then offered wonderful descriptions of the wines he recommended. He was very friendly, helpful and courteous. I ended up with four nice bottles to take back to Seattle in my suitcase. I like the taste of these hearty red wines from Provence which don't contain sulfides and taste delicious. I recommend 1862 Wine and Spirits to purchase some nice wines to drink while in Cannes or take home for gifts (to yourself or others)!

From the owner: 1862 is the date of creation of this renowed establishment. The oldest wines and spirits cellar of…read moreCannes welcomes you in a warm and authentic atmosphere, right in the heart of the city center, between the Old Harbor of Cannes and the street Meynadier (just a step from the Palais des Festivals and la croisette). Hervé and Julien, our two sommeliers, will dispense their expert advices in order to guide your choices among 850 references of wines, spirits, and liquors.

Excellent wine and the owner will provide a good selection at a reasonable price for the wines you…read morelike. Never disappointed.

I was in Nice for vacation and wanted a bottle of Bordeaux from 1983 to celebrate my birthday. They…read morehad it, and it was one of the most amazing wine experiences of my life!!! The sellers are nice and friendly and speak perfect English, and there's also a cute puppy chilling in the store!! We also wanted some champaign (they have great prices compared to the other wine stores in the area) but finally decided to experience Blanquette de Limoux (a rare sparkling wine) that I definatly recomend. I make sure to buy all my wine from this place next time I go to Nice!

Very pleasant discovery after many years of coming to Cannes. So far have tried 6 or 7 wines (all…read more10 euros or less) from this shop and each one has been spot on great value. A family operation for decades, the woman who has been in the shop is the wife...her husband is the one who selects the wines (and presumably tends to the other shop in La Bocca??). Obviously I can't speak to their higher priced offerings, as I have yet to try some bottles I bought ranging up in price. However, I am confident that this is a good source for wine. One problem is that parking is an issue if you are driving here. It might be best to come in the afternoon when the Gambetta marché is converted to parking, but I prefer to shop in the morning.

When visiting France, I will go far out of my way to stop by Le Cellier for a remarkable cognac…read morethat's so hard to find elsewhere: "Raymond Raynaud". (Yes, I enjoy Hine, Delamain, and Pierre Ferrand - they are also amazing, but I think Raymond Raynaud surpasses them all! If you enjoy cognac, don't miss this one!) BTW, the proprietor speaks excellent English, is friendly and will be happy to assist you. - David from Los Angeles (Oct. 2, 2019)

This is the best wine and cognac shop I have come across in my European travels. Hervé & his son…read moreRomain Sauvage have assembled an amazing collection of wines and are incredibly knowledgeable about all the regional and International wines. When visiting in person, you can often find a case of something that was one of a very limited number. If you are lucky enough to pass by Le Cellier before lunch or in the late afternoon, you may well be offered a taste of one or two special wines including some exceptional white and Rosé in the summer, the perfect aperitif as you make your wine selections. The prices are some of the best prices we have found for great wines, Cognac, Armagnac, etc. and whenever we order or stop by we buy more than we had intended to. If you have the chance to visit the shop, I encourage you to do so. There is a charming pizza restaurant in La Garde Freinet and you can purchase wine after an entertaining and educational conversation with Hervé and/or Rom and then stop for some great thin crust pizza. A visit to Le Cellier will be one of your most memorable moments from any visit to the South of France.
