This is undoubtedly one of the most surprising shops in the city. In the basement, an air-conditioned tower holds a wonderful selection of wines; a spiral staircase takes you from floor to floor; the further down you go, the rarer the vintage. The last floor offers vintages reaching the cost stratosphere. The most affordable vintages are displayed in the window at the shop level. All the region’s great names are available, among them many wines from the St-Emilion vineyards.

VIN MAGNIFIQUE
L'Intendant is unique. Certainly its design is unusual with its spiral staircase up to about six floors with bottles stacked on the outside of the spiral. An exceptional selection of claret, dry and sweet white as well as some rose. A good spread of vintages going back forty years. Prices for an up-market retail establishment are what might be expected. Multi-lingual staff friendly and helpful. A visit is a must; I go every year.
