Vin Préféré

When it comes to dining in France, the experience is as much about the wine as it is about the food. In a country known for its rich culinary heritage and world-class vineyards, it’s no surprise that wine plays a central role at the table

Droit au Bouchon literally means “the right to cork.” In French restaurants, this refers to the practice of allowing guests to bring their own wine – a gesture of hospitality that encourages patrons to pair their vin préféré with local cuisine.

Droit au Bouchon at Zédel

Inspired by this French tradition, Brasserie Zédel is proud to introduce Droit au Bouchon as a new Monday night ritual in the heart of London’s Soho.
Each Monday from 7:30pm, diners are invited to bring their own bottle of wine to enjoy with Zédel’s menu of timeless French classics – with no corkage fee. Whether it’s a treasured vintage from your collection or a personal favourite from your local wine shop, you’re welcome to share it at the table, just as you might in a Parisian brasserie.

Champagne

An equal blend of the three classic Champagne grapes, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. It is a vinous champagne, with a lovely balance between the chalky minerality and the notes of red apples and plums.

Whites

Capturing the character of its Loire Valley terroir. The palate is textural and precise, with vibrant notes of citrus, white orchard fruit, and a touch of stone minerality.

Crisp and refreshing profile with a notable acidity that defines its character. Aromas of green apples and subtle citrus notes.

Rose

Perfectly fruity, spicy and structured, this rosé is an explosion of flavours.

Reds

Presenting a structured palate with notes of spice, red fruit, and a distinct mineral quality.

Displaying dark fruit characteristics, alongside hints of spice and smoke, attributed to its maturation in oak barrels.
