#Brut — Wine bar in Épernay

At number 25 on the Avenue de Champagne, the most famous wine avenue in the world, lined with the palaces of Moët & Chandon, Perrier-Jouët and Pol Roger, stands a small, headstrong wine bar that deliberately does the opposite of its neighbours. No big names, no marketing budgets, no tickets for cellar tours. #Brut focuses exclusively on grower champagnes: small, independent winemakers who grow their own grapes and make champagne with a distinct terroir character. Biodynamic and organic are the norm here. A stylish modern interior with an industrial touch and a small cobbled area outside: the terrace overlooks the Avenue de Champagne, which on a sunny afternoon is one of the nicest spots in all of Épernay. Two champagne flights are available (three glasses each). A small boutique in the bar sells the same grower champagnes you taste, plus artisan local products: terrines, sausages, chocolate. Small bites to order individually: cheese and charcuterie boards, terrines, local bread.
