Don’t be fooled by the false ceiling and the black Kallax shelving units: with its 2,500 natural references spread across three sites (Auray, Surzur and here, on the peninsula), L’Ampélographe is the GOAT of Morbihan wine shops. It’s where Michaël Nauleau, Vincent Bervick, Nicolas Pillon and Guillaume Grandgirard masterfully uncork bottles, with an ampelographic approach, specializing in grape varieties. On the Ikea shelves you’ll find a fine Roussillon red (Frida from Jean-François Nicq, available as a magnum), good vinos from Cahors (Pinpin from the Domaine La Calmette), and Burgundy pinot noir (a Maranges from Maison En Belles Lies). In short, in case of rising waters, there’s everything you need to hold them off in Quiberon!

THE BULLET-PROOF BOTTLE: Terre de Gryphées, a chardonnay ouillé from the Domaine de la Tournelle in the Jura (€29).
