What if Ritournelle (which is French for “jingle”) were a song? Not the one sung by Sébastien Tellier, but the anthem of the film Drunk, ideal for getting a little tipsy under the fairy lights while watching the sunset. Across from one of the beaches in Dinard, wine vendors Miléna Cugny (ex-Louis, Pottoka and Market in Paris) and Benjamin Joinville (ex-Atelier Vivanda and Solstice) took over the timbered house of the former caretaker for the Parc de Port-Breton and turned it into a wine bar with a gigantic terrace where you can grab something good to drink: Un Hiver sur la Lune, a premier millésime white from the Ardèche producer Étienne Seignovert (€20); Après la Pluie, a Loire Grolleau produced by Simon Rouillard (€14); a magnum of Gamay by Jouineau et Moulinot (€50); or even Chavost Champagne with their Eurêka cuvée (€91). Plenty to enjoy in exchange for a corkage fee at lunch (tzatziki, barbecued pork loin and zucchini), dinner (eggplant caviar and pita cooked in a Big Green Egg, pork ribs and buttery potatoes) and even at snack time, with ice cream cones from La Ferme des Glaces, served straight for the cute blue cart. // Rosa Poulsard
The bullet-proof bottle: Les Plantels, a Chardonnay produced in Champagne from Antoine Bouvet that is a rare find… and we can understand why!
