Vines in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Paris Wine Walks · Paris

This unpretentiously modest vineyard, rooted in the very same earth where medieval wines were born, offers visitors a chance to experience terroir at one of Paris’s oldest and most celebrated neighborhoods. Abbey Saint-Germain-des-Prés once boasted some of Europe’s wealthiest holdings, including extensive vineyards stretching far beyond their walls. The abbey produced staggering quantities of wine for both consumption within its own community and export throughout northern Europe. Paris boasts another tiny vine plot on Place Félix Desruelles—hardly enough rows to call a vineyard but comprising just ten plants of Gamay grape variety sourced directly from the beaujolais hamlet of Julienas. What this little patch lacks in size, however, makes up for it through sheer passion among those who support it and the rich heritage behind these precious few shoots. One of the ten cru villages of Beaujolais, Julienas produces vibrant red fruit flavors thanks to grapes known locally as “black gamay” whose pale sap flows like water after harvest; picked entirely by hand today, they have substance sufficient to age gracefully over five to eight years if cultivated organically under proper conditions. Your tour will include ample tastings paired perfectly alongside seasonal produce found fresh daily at picturesque historical market hall Maréchal Saint Germain – think crisp salads made with local greens or perhaps hearty cheese platters accompanied by crusty loaves baked using traditional methods here amidst cobblestone streets lined with centuries old buildings - truly reminiscent times gone past!
