CÔTÉ20

Armand GILLIERON travels the length and breadth of France's wine-growing regions to stock the shelves of his Côté20 store.

Among the 1,300 references the wine merchant offers his customers, there's one he's particularly proud to introduce: Les Marpaux, a white Meuse wine produced at Domaine de Muzy, just a few kilometers from Verdun. The words still sparkle in his mouth as he describes its color and flavors.

Through the vine, Armand Gillieron wants people to love the Meuse: "its preserved biodiversity, its landscapes where vines, orchards and woods mingle". When you walk into the Côté20 store, Armand, his wife Christine and their assistant Nadège, don't just want to share their wines.

At Côté20, you'll also find a few brewed delights, including two beers made in the Meuse: Charmoy and Rarécourtoise. "Two microbrewers who love what they do, and who have above all learned to work in a very artisanal way," says the wine merchant. Avis aux amateurs! with you, but also their love for our region.

Expressing what you feel when you taste a wine is never easy. To help you, Côté20 offers tasting sessions to help you discern aromas and appreciate the identity of each wine.
