PORTRAITS OF WINE BAR OWNERS

Bernard Roque-Bouges, owner of the Petit Chavignol

There is sometimes a real expertise in wine in certain Rouergue bistro owners. Bernard Roque-Bouges, holder of the gold medal 2003, originated from Laguiole and owner of the Au Petit Chavignol is a good example. His bistro is one of the best addresses of the 17th district when it comes to wine bistros.

Bernard Roque-Bouges is the first to make you discover little marvellous products from the four corners of France. His selection allows him to reply to the most discerning amateurs of wine whether it is a late-picked Alsacien or an exceptional Faugères. If you have a little money to spend, you should allow him to lead you. Your friend Roque-Bouges will take out a Côtes de nuit village 1999 signed by Michel Mallard himself to enable you to forget your worries and problems. He also has some bewitching Pinots from Alsace.

What’s great about Roque-Bouges is that he knows how to talk about wine with expertise without losing you. You sense a deep knowledge based on deep interviews with wine producers many of who come to see him. So, if you’re looking to taste good wines, Au Petit Chavignol is at the address indicated.
