We discovered this nice wine shop in Paris on a recent visit. We had already paid our obligatory visit to Herve at L'Etiquette and bought some bottles there. Ditto one or two other shops in the area (see below).
L'Ange Rouge came up on a search so off we went to Pigalle to check it out.
It's an interesting operation for a number of reasons. First of all they are natural wine specialists.
Second, they have their own marque called Banjo. Third they will send wine anywhere in the world including the UK. We're not sure how they do that but for E.41.67 they shipped 6 bottles to us in London without incurring any duty.
By an amazing co-incidence they seem to specialise in a St. Emilion property we are very familiar with, Chateau de Martinet. While working at the Lycee Mixte de Libourne as an assistant de langue anglaise in the gap year before university, we were a regular guest of the de Lavaux family at the chateau thanks to an introduction by a family friend, Tony Blumenthal of Grierson Blumenthal wine merchants.
Now there is a 2nd wine from Ch. de Martinet called 'Envoie de Martinet' and retailing at only E.7.50!
Of the other wines we bought, the standout was a Grolleau from Domaine des fefs noirs 'Cocaigne.'
