La Mirande Hotel Bar ★ 4.8
La Mirande is Avignon's most romantic hotel, a 14th-century cardinal's palace adjacent to the Palais des Papes, restored to period grandeur.
The list: Hotel bar wine list of 300 bottles; Chateauneuf-du-Pape verticals; rare old-vintage Rhone reds and whites by the glass on rotation
Tip: Ask the sommelier for the cellar's Chateauneuf old-vintage selection. Beaucastel, Rayas, and Vieux Telegraphe verticals are occasionally available by the glass at premium but reasonable prices.
