Nestled on a shady nook of the up-and-coming Sq. Gardette, Le Vin de Bohème is considerate little wine store so discreet it could most likely wink out of existence altogether if it weren’t so usefully, crucially open on daily basis of the week. Personable proprietor and sole worker Arnaud Fournier is a former graphic designer whose transient profession in wine – he spent a mere yr working for now-shuttered caviste Aux Anges earlier than opening his personal store in 2009 – belies the acuity of his palate and the maturity of his choice. Le Vin de Bohème provides round 350 references at any given time, with no perceptible tilt in direction of or in opposition to the pure wine ethos that dominates most 11ème arrondissement wine outlets. That alone makes Le Vin de Bohème distinctive for the neighborhood. The razor-sharp Burgundy and Champagne choices make it a standby for free-thinking wine lovers, significantly on Sunday and Monday evenings.
