Le Comptoir de l'Écu

Our bar opens at 4pm and closes at 10.30pm, every day. It is not reserved for hotel guests: you can push the door open for a drink without sleeping upstairs.

A wine list that belongs here

Of our 20 wines, 14 come from the Loire Valley.

In red, a Cheverny from Domaine du Vardet, two Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, and three Chinon: Les Joueurs and Les Lutteurs from Domaine de la Chapelle, Pallus from Domaine des Bernard. In white, an organic Touraine sauvignon from Domaine de la Cotellerie, a Quincy from Philippe Portier, a Saumur, a Menetou-Salon from La Tour Saint-Martin, and two Chinon.

9 of them are served by the glass, from €6, seven of those from the region: enough to work through three appellations in one evening, without getting back in the car.

We look further afield when it is worth it: a Pomerol, a Cahors from Clos Triguedina, a Haut-Médoc, a Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits, and a Devaux blanc de noirs champagne.

A proper cocktail list
