Glasgow to welcome new West End Champagne bar – Cuvée
Cuvée, a new Champagne, wine and cheese bar is set to open in Glasgow’s West End at the end of April.
Cuvée will open next door to cocktail bar, Rascal, upstairs at 1 Lynedoch Street, serving a wide selection of Champagnes, Cremant, wines and a cocktail list complemented by a small plates and sharing cheese and meats menu.
Opening in one of the West End’s grand townhouses, the bar will make the most of its period features to enhance what would have been a smart city drawing room, now a 30 cover lounge with seats for 16 at the bar.
Vintage landscape murals and mirrors will adorn the walls giving it a traditional feel with a soft, neutral colour palette accented by pinks and greens.
Partnering with luxury house LVMH, the wine list will feature a selection of Champagnes by the bottle and glass including Churchill’s favourite Pol Roger Reserve Brut (£17.50), Ruinart Blanc de Blanc (£23.50), Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial NV (£15) and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut NV (£16). Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013 will also be available by the bottle.
Sparkling wines are well represented with Lorentz Crémant D’Alsace Brut NV available for £7.50 by the glass and Cloudy Bay Pelorus Brut NV and Rosé NV by the bottle (£60 and £64). Non-alcoholic fizz will be supplied by Italian Sea Change Alcohol-Free Sparkling NV (£5) with flavours of elderflower, apple and mint.
