5 Things to Know About Côte Brasserie’s New French Wine Shop: ‘Côte Uncorked’

France in a bottle, delivered to your door? Oui, s’il vous plaît! Côte Brasserie is officially bringing the vineyard to your living room with the launch of Côte Uncorked. If you’ve ever sat in a Côte booth wishing you could take that crisp Chablis or bold Bordeaux home with you, your wish just came true. Here are five things you need to know about this ground-breaking launch.

1. It’s a UK First

Côte is making history as the first major restaurant group in the UK to launch a wine shop dedicated exclusively to French labels. Staying true to their philosophy—“If it’s not French, it’s not on the list”—the shop features over 200 handpicked bottles. It’s essentially a curated tour of France’s most iconic wine regions, from the rolling hills of Burgundy to the sun-soaked terraces of Provence.

2. Meet the “Côte Cuvée”

For the first time ever, Côte has introduced its own house range: the Côte Cuvée. These aren’t just any house wines; they are small-batch blends designed specifically to pair with the brasserie’s signature dishes.

  • The White: A seafood’s soulmate blend of Vermentino and Grenache Blanc.
  • The Rosé: A pale, elegant Grenache Noir with notes of strawberry and lemon.
  • The Red: A smooth, gently spiced red that’s the perfect partner for a steak frites.

3. Expert Curation for Every Palate

Whether you are a casual sipper or a serious connoisseur, the shop offers specialist selection cases to take the guesswork out of your order.

  • The Discovery Six (£70): Perfect for beginners looking to explore different grape varieties.
  • The Sommelier’s Selection (£110–£120): A deeper dive into Côte’s standout red and white bottles.
  • The French Fizz Case (£210): A premium collection of sparkling wines for those “just because” celebrations.

4. Backed by Culinary Royalty

The launch of Côte Uncorked follows the massive success of Côte At Home, the brand’s premium delivery service. The menu for the delivery arm was designed by Steve Allen (former Executive Chef for Gordon Ramsay), so you can trust that the wine quality matches the high standards of the cuisine.

5. Nationwide Access

You don’t have to live next door to a brasserie to enjoy the collection. Côte Uncorked offers nationwide home delivery, meaning you can access heritage-rich wines with real provenance no matter where you are in the UK. While the new Côte Cuvée is hitting the 69 physical restaurants first (as of March 18), it will be joining the online shop in the coming weeks.
