A great wine shop in the 7éme arr of Marseille. The choices are really good and they have a great…read moreselection of wines from around France and a great selection of whiskeys and other aperitifs. The people working here are excellent and whilst they did not speak any English they were very helpful and showed me some of their good stuff from the region and other places. As we were buying a wine for a present they also wrapped up the wine in a beautiful box and put ribbons on for free. A nice gesture I thought :-)) I could spend a day here getting to know the wines and if I could speak French I am sure it would be a wonderful experience speaking to the proprietor who seems quite passionate about the wines they have. Prices are also quite reasonable here.

An urban winery set in Marseilles, Microcosmos Chai Urbain crafts Provence style wines in red,…read morewhite, and rose. Passion reigns supreme in every hand-produced bottle of wine, as the owners ensure each bottle of wine is a delicate, expressive wine with a good deal of character. I toured the winery with one of my friends, and we got to taste a selection of wines. The owners were so friendly and you can really tell how much they respect their craft. Fabienne really understands the science behind the fermentation of the grapes, and each grape is grown and stored in a special cellar in Marseilles. We sampled a white, red, and two rose wines. The Marvin 2015 pur Mourvèdre de Provence, a gorgeous, fragrant rose wine, was my favorite. I even purchased a bottle to enjoy with lunch. It was light in colour, with subtle fruity notes that were delicious. The wines are refreshing, focusing on the natural flavors of the grape variety, and are never heavy. The owners are a wonderful duo who make the entire winery more than a hobby, but a lifestyle. Their friendly, outgoing personality shows in each of their bottles, and they provide a great experience touring their urban winery. Wine lovers in the heart of Marseilles will find delicious, delicate wines at Microcosmos Chai Urbain. A gorgeous place to enjoy a glass and share a story, as the owners are knowledgeable and ready to pass on their love of fine wines with all their guests. It was a wonderful experience and the wine was delicious!
