Toasting like in Emily in Paris: the glamour of French wine in Coalla

Toasting like in Emily in Paris: the glamour of French wine in Coalla

Amidst outrageous outfits, brilliant campaigns, and romances that keep us on the edge of our seats episode after episode, there's one element that never fails in Emily in Paris: wine.

It's always there. At a strategically placed dinner. On a terrace at sunset. In a conversation that changes the course of the story. The glass isn't just a decorative detail; it's an essential part of the narrative. Because in France, wine doesn't just accompany the moment. It elevates it.

The Names That Define French Glamour

The series mentions references that are part of the global wine scene:

·       Château Haut-Brion, an emblem of Bordeaux's grandeur.

·       Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, synonymous with elegance and tradition.

·       Châteauneuf-du-Pape, embodying the character and depth of the Rhône Valley.

·      And iconic champagnes like Taittinger and Piper-Heidsieck, indispensable when the scene calls for celebration.

These are historic labels that represent centuries of expertise and some of the most prestigious appellations in the world. Wines associated with grand celebrations, fine dining restaurants, and tables where luxury is a natural part of the experience.

But beyond the name and status, what the series truly conveys is an attitude.

Wine as a cultural experience

In Emily in Paris, wine symbolizes conversation, connection, and enjoyment. It's the invisible thread that unites a table, accompanies important decisions, or transforms a casual dinner into something special.

This same philosophy guides our selection at Coalla.

France is diversity: Bordeaux, Rhône, Loire, Languedoc… Each region contributes unique nuances, distinct soils, and styles ranging from the most delicate subtlety to the most structured intensity. And the best part is that you don't have to limit yourself to the most exclusive labels to enjoy great French wines; the key is knowing how to choose well.

Three French Wines from Coalla to Experience Your Own Parisian Scene

If the series has sparked your interest in French wine, here are three suggestions from our selection that capture that elegant and contemporary essence:

Château Doyac Le Pélican 2021

This wine is the brainchild of Max and Astrid, who left their lives between Paris and New York to return to Bordeaux and craft wine according to their own philosophy. They work the vineyard biodynamically, taking meticulous care of the land and incorporating respectful practices that contribute to balance and authenticity.

In the glass, it is refined and elegant, with red fruit, freshness, and that classic Bordeaux style reinterpreted with naturalness. A red wine that demonstrates that Bordeaux can be both sophisticated and accessible.

Pierre Gimonnet Cuis Premier Cru NV

A 100% Chardonnay Champagne from Cuis Premier Cru, reflecting the Gimonnet style: precision, freshness, and purity.

Lively and vibrant on the palate, with the characteristic minerality of the Côte des Blancs and a clean, elegant profile that invites you to keep toasting.

Luneau-Papin Le L d’Or 2023

A 100% Melon de Bourgogne white wine, grown on granite soils, resulting in a mineral, fresh, and profound wine.

Expressive now, but with the potential to evolve in the bottle. Ideal for fish, seafood, or fine preserves, and perfect for those seeking a white wine with character and balance.

The true Parisian spirit begins in the glass.

The series reminds us of something very simple: luxury isn't always excess, but rather a conscious choice. It's knowing what to open, with whom to share it, and when to enjoy it.

The next time you watch an episode of Emily in Paris, pay attention to the glass. How it complements the scene. How it transforms a conversation into something memorable.

Then, pour your own.

At Coalla, we select wines with history, character, and style. Because the Parisian spirit isn't just on the screen. It can also begin at your table.
