Sous Le Nez Revamps Wine List Introducing More Choice And Better Value
One of Leeds' most renowned restaurants has given its wine
list a major overhaul in order to make it more accessible and provide a better
value offering for diners.
Sous Le Nez, on Quebec Street, has created a new 'under £30'
category and added 40 new wines at this price point. The restaurant now offers
a total of 64 different wines under £30, with 30 of those being under £25.
The long-established brasserie boasts one of West
Yorkshire's most extensive wine lists and carries more than 350 labels from all
over the world. Prices range from £3.15 for a glass for good quality house wine
to several thousand pounds for a vintage wine.
Sous le Nez has made the changes to offer diners more
variety at economising prices and to encourage more people to experience a wider
range of wines, which they may normally associate with a higher cost.
The presentation of the Wine List Menu has also been changed
with a section dedicated to wines 'under £30' and 'under £25' to allow
customers to choose a wine more quickly according to their budget.
Sous Le Nez's sommelier Jean-Denis Roger spent several
months researching, tasting and securing a unique selection of wines from all
over the world to be included in the new price category. In total, he tasted
over 100 wines to put together the final list.
He says: "Our goal was to create Leeds' most definitive
wine list - one which offers not only the widest selection of flavour and style
but also at price points to suit different budgets.
"Our wine list is an important part of the restaurant
and we spend an above average amount of time refining and honing it. This
latest change is a reflection of some of the comments we have been receiving
about offering a wider choice at better value prices. We hope that customers
will enjoy the broader line up of wines on offer and may try some different
varieties that they've not come across before."
Sous Le Nez is open Monday to Saturday, 12pm until late.
About Sous Le Nez

following not to mention a string of awards since then.
The restaurant's aim is to produce high quality French cuisine,
backed up with excellent service and value for money. The menu includes some
old, well-worn favourites as well as a host of modern dishes with a very French
and contemporary European twist. Chef director Andrew Carter's secret

Huddersfield's own coffee specialists, Coopers Coffee.
