TLC Paris Gastronomy Guide
TLC Paris tip: Caves Augé is especially rewarding if you enjoy browsing rather than shopping from a fixed list. Ask about a region, producer, style or budget and let the caviste guide you through the shelves. Natural wines are an important part of the selection, but the cellar is much broader, with classic French appellations, mature bottles and spirits also strongly represented.

TLC Paris Concierge note: Caves Augé is a place to browse with curiosity rather than arrive with only a famous label in mind. Tell the team what you enjoy, what you are serving and your budget, and let the depth of the cellar work in your favour. Wine enthusiasts should also watch for producer tastings — they are part of the character of this historic Paris address.
Caves Augé — Paris’s Oldest Wine Shop for Burgundy, Rhône & Natural Wines
Caves Augé is one of Paris’s great wine institutions, founded in 1850 and still quietly shaping the city’s wine culture today. Long admired for its expertise in Burgundy and Rhône wines, the shop also champions natural and biodynamic producers with the same seriousness and discernment. A visit here feels grounded in history yet fully connected to contemporary wine thinking.
The shelves reflect decades of knowledge and careful sourcing, bringing together respected domaines and small, independent growers chosen for authenticity rather than fashion. Whether searching for a classic bottle or exploring natural expressions, visitors are met with guidance that is precise, generous, and never intimidating. The focus remains on helping each bottle find the right moment and the right table.
Caves Augé is also known for its relaxed tasting moments, often held informally outside the shop, where conversation, discovery, and wine meet naturally. These gatherings underline what defines the place: wine as a shared culture rather than a closed circle.
Its location makes Caves Augé an easy stop while moving through this part of Paris. It fits naturally into an itinerary that includes Boulevard Haussmann and Lafayette and Printemps Departments Stores, a walk toward Parc Monceau, shopping around Saint-Augustin, or cultural stops near Opéra Garnier. A visit here feels like stepping into a living piece of Paris rather than a destination designed for visitors.
