01 — Wine & Delicatessen

The store: Wine & Delicatessen

Order here what lies in the store and the warehouse in Markt Piesting: wines, sparkling wines, spirits and delicatessen from France, over 20,000 bottles, selected by Louis-Pierre at the producers and imported directly.

“With most sellers you wait one or two weeks. With me, wine and delicatessen leave the same or the next working day.”

Louis-Pierre Laroche

“That is exactly what we drink in France.”

A French visitor at a tasting with 35 open wines

Artisan family estates

Winemakers, distillers and food makers chosen in a strict process. Small estates with their own vines, and no second importer in Austria.

Grands Crus from Bordeaux and Burgundy

Classified growths from the Bordelais and single-vineyard wines from Burgundy. Every bottle on offer lies in Markt Piesting and can be collected the same day, by phone arrangement in the evening too.

The best ingredients, the best taste

The best taste starts with the ingredients. That is why sardines, terrines and oils come from where they belong, from Brittany, the South-West and Provence, and are processed fresh to traditional recipes. Like a good mayonnaise: mustard, egg, oil and spices.
