Creating the perfect wine list is a balancing act for every venue, and offering exceptional Champagne by-the-glass is a key part of elevating guest experiences. To explore the impact of our Sparkling wine-by-the-glass system, we conducted case studies at two celebrated venues in France: Le Mas Bottero in Saint-Cannat and Le Cent 33 in Bordeaux. The results? Increased revenue, zero waste, and unforgettable moments for guests.
Case Study 1: Le Mas Bottero
Nestled in scenic Saint-Cannat, Le Mas Bottero, led by Chef Nicolas Bottero, brings a fresh twist to Provençal cuisine. Known for its impressive cellar of over 400 wine references, the restaurant already utilized Coravin Timeless. In early 2024, sommelier Marlyne expanded their offerings by introducing Coravin Sparkling, allowing them to serve seven prestigious Champagnes by the glass—including Amour de Deutz and Blanc de Blancs 2011 vintage.
Key Results:
- +36% Increase in Champagne by-the-glass revenue
- 100% Elimination of Champagne wastage
Marlyne shares: “Coravin makes our daily lives easier. It allows us to confidently serve a diverse range of wines by the glass, ensuring zero loss on opened bottles. It’s an essential partner in our cellar management.”
Case Study 2: Le Cent 33
In Bordeaux’s historic heart, Le Cent 33 prides itself on sustainability and quality, blending local and international wines in its by-the-glass offerings. Sommelier Tangui Richardson enhanced their program with Coravin Sparkling, featuring selections from Pierre Paillard and Champagne Fleury. This addition not only delighted guests but also supported the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability.
Key Results:
- +15% Increase in Champagne by-the-glass revenue
- 100% Reduction in wine wastage
Tangui reflects: “Coravin Sparkling aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals. Our guests, both local and international, appreciate the quality and freshness it ensures, creating lasting memories.”
Redefining Champagne Service with Coravin Sparkling
Both venues showcased how Coravin Sparkling empowers sommeliers to expand their by-the-glass offerings, eliminate waste, and create exceptional guest experiences. With its ability to preserve the integrity of open bottles for up to four weeks, Coravin Sparkling has redefined how venues serve Champagne.
