This shop is located on the Place Drouet D'Erlon which is lined with restaurants, chocolatiers, patisseries, bars and cafés and is a 5 minute walk from the station. My sister needed to buy a specific Champagne brand as a belated wedding gift for a friend who loves Champagne. She wanted to buy a bottle of Ruinart Champagne (Ruinart's the oldest champagne house in France). The people at VCP recommended that we visit La Vinocave to buy Ruinart. We took their advice and we were not disappointed. My sister was able to buy a Ruinart at the price point she was willing to pay. I really really wanted to buy something to bring home but I packed light for this trip and I did not have room for more things! They have so many different brands of Champagne! I have not never even heard of many of them. It's worth coming in here just to see the collection and learn or get a recommendation from the very knowledgeable owner!
