Our visit to Sous La Robe Wine Bar in Saint Emilion was an absolute delight, and we cannot wait to share our wonderful experience at this gem of a place. Danny and Charlie, the talented duo behind the bar, made our evening truly unforgettable.
Even before we arrived, Danny's brilliant communication with my girlfriend set the tone for what was to come. His passion for wine was evident, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about their impressive wine selection. As a true sommelier, he guided us through a delightful array of wines, ensuring that our choices perfectly complemented our preferences.
The ambiance at Sous La Robe was cool, relaxed, and inviting. The bar's interior exuded charm, and we loved the great outdoor space at the rear, where we could bask in the warm Saint Emilion weather while sipping on excellent wine.
Now, let's talk about the food – it was simply superb. The simple, rustic dishes were executed beautifully, leaving us longing for more. The standout feature was the excellent cheese selection, which delighted our taste buds and paired wonderfully with the wine selection. Each cheese seemed to tell its own story, adding to the overall charm of the evening.
We must mention co-owner Charlie's unforgettable shallot and honey jam. This delectable creation was a revelation – the perfect balance of sweet and savoury. It was an absolute showstopper and an accompaniment that we would happily fly from the UK to France just to savour again.
Apart from their culinary expertise, both Danny and Charlie were warm and friendly hosts, making us feel right at home. Their genuine passion for what they do shone through in every aspect of the experience, and it was a pleasure to be in the company of such passionate and welcoming individuals.
In conclusion, Sous La Robe Wine Bar is a true haven for wine enthusiasts and food lovers alike. With Danny's expertise as a sommelier, the cool and relaxed atmosphere, the superb quality of food with rustic dishes done beautifully, the outstanding cheese selection, and Charlie's unforgettable shallot and honey jam, this place has earned a special place in our hearts.

Read moreWhat to say about Sous la Robe.....magnifique! Saint-Émilion has just one late opening bar, and this is it, but it's absolutely worth a visit. I spent all three of my evenings in the village here, and the owners Charly and Danny have done an amazing job of creating a lovely, welcoming atmosphere along with classy surroundings. The wine list is extensive and high quality, with beer, gin and cognac (all the good stuff of course) being alternative options should you require it. A shout out too to the talented Seif who runs the kitchen providing delicious home cooked French options with some beautiful cheese and charcuterie boards, all with flair and a smile on his face. A great team these guys are and they have no doubt created an establishment with 'je ne sais quoi'. Highly recommended and I will most...
Read moreMy husband and I booked a wine tour with Sous la robe, and it was the best decision ever! We were introduced to the family property of Mr Berrouet, and learnt more about the family’s history and wine philosophy, and to top it off the wine was gorgeous! After the visit, we were brought back to their cosy bar for a comparative tasting, and it was great to try out the more boutique wines that we couldn’t find in our home country, that we could also ship back! The entire tour was really well organized right from the first WhatsApp message to Charly, and felt really personable with Danny as our guide. 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a more intimate wine experience! Ps: the bar at night has a great atmosphere for...
