Substance - Cave à vin A new experience for enthusiasts and the curious in Bordeaux

Substance Wine Cellar; a new experience for enthusiasts and the curious

Baptiste Péjoine, 26, opened a brand new wine cellar in December 2023 a stone's throw from the Pont de Pierre and Place Stalingrad, but also from the future Belvédère district and the Pont Simone Veil.

Originally from Bastide, Baptiste, after several stays abroad, gained extensive experience in the restaurant industry (L'Orangerie in Bordeaux, La Conche in Lacanau, Chez Hortense in Cap Ferret, La Table in Créon). It was in this context that he discovered and developed a passion for wine service. He then earned a diploma from CAFA, the prestigious International School of Wines and Spirits in Bordeaux. After his first experience as a sommelier in a wine bar in Gradignan (Born to be Wine ), he joined the team at L'Univerre in Bordeaux, which he left to open his own wine shop, Substance.

Stepping through the door of Substance is to discover a unique selection, passionately curated by Baptiste, who knows every product and every winemaker behind the magnificent bottles. His ambition is to offer enthusiasts and the curious bottlers bottles that aren't readily available, hidden gems unearthed during his travels.

• Champagnes with a distinct identity (Vouette et Sorbée, Ruppert Leroy, Olivier Horiot, Adrien Renoir, Jérome Dehours, Alexandre Chaillon, Chavost or the magnificent bubbles from the Vincey estate, and most of them non-dosage).
• Volcanic wines from Envinate in Tenerife, or from the ancient vineyards of Piedmont, or even the Loire with Claude Riffault and Sancerre haute couture, the wonderful wines of Clos de la Molénie, produced by Kim and Sylvain Déstrieux in Entre-deux-mers.
