Reviews of interest
- Alexander Lobrano (2011) “…I suspect that this place is going to heat up fast, especially because the prices are so fair…hit this one soon
- Aaron Ayscough (2010) “Michel’s style of service can be politely called improvisational, but the end result is a tremendously charming, personable, and inviting cave, where the wines – and now the menu, too – all evidence his bold tastes…”
- More than Organic “Probably the best natural wine shop in Paris, and definitely the friendliest. Former sommelier Michel Moulherat is equally generous with his time and his wine…”
