They’ve traded their amps for corkscrews! Taken over in 2019 by passionate rockers Benjamin Böhle-Roitelet (producer) and Boris Delmas (singer), the Nabu has been spouting its boozy poetry since the 80s. Still standing proud in all its old-school bistro glory (patinated woodwork, candles dripping like waxy volcanoes, dim lighting), Toulouse’s oldest wine bar boasts more than a hundred punky natural wines ready to take you on a world tour far from oenological dogma: P’tit Jaja, a Loire pineau d’aunis (€5 a glass), Little Troublemaker, a liatiko from Thalassinos Microwinery in Crete (€37 a bottle), Les Amis de l’Arpette, a Gaillac prunellard from the eponymous estate (€22) or One of Pentacles, a German skin-contact riesling from Raoul Wagner that’s near-impossible to find elsewhere (€40). These rebellious wines are sourced directly from the winemakers, because the duo insists on shaking hands with every producer they champion. And between sips, what’s there to graze on? Artisanal charcuterie, cheeses from the Larzac region and flavor-packed spreads, including porc noir pork rillettes by MOF maestro Hervé Sancho (€6-12). · Marie Delcampo
