RN7, Wine shop in Chartrons district, Bordeaux, France.
RN7 is a wine shop in the Chartrons district that occupies a converted artisanal upholstery workshop. The store focuses on selections from the Rhône Valley, offering carefully chosen wines from various regional producers.
The shop was founded when Frédéric Bennetot, who spent his childhood in a Rhône valley village surrounded by vineyard families, partnered with Thomas Lepareux. This partnership combined the knowledge both brought from their personal connections to wine culture.
The shop maintains strong ties with winemakers from the Rhône region, offering selections from Saint-Joseph, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and well-known Cornas producers. Customers encounter a collection shaped by these direct relationships with local makers.
The shop sits on Rue Notre Dame and welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday, with regular tasting sessions as a standard feature. Plan to spend time talking with staff about the selection, as they hold deep knowledge about each wine in the store.
The collection includes parcel-based cuvées such as Rien 2021, made from old-vine Carignan without additives by Domaine Lionnet. These special bottles represent the shop's focus on artisanal, minimally processed wines.
