Exquisitie oak-aged Viognier … direct from our 'Chai' in Bordeaux

12 bottles,  £109.95 (£9.16 a bottle)
1 bottle,  £9.29

This fabulous Viognier (code name VR) is one of the first releases from our beautiful old 'Chai' that lies on the quayside at Castillon, Bordeaux.'Le Chai au Quai (pronounced 'Shay OK'), allows us to cherry pick the finest parcels of wine and age them to add complexity … and still be able to offer them to you at remarkably low prices!

Our winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua took the finest parcels of Viognier from southern France's superlative 2005 vintage and slowly fermented them to fully capture the famous honeyed apricot flavour that fans love so much. He then aged the wine in fine French oak, just like they do for £20-a-bottle Condrieu.

Fresh stone fruit and honey aromas, with a hint of blossom. Rich and full with a touch of cinnamon spice and vanilla from the oak ageing. A lovely partner to creamy fish or seafood dishes.

Customer Reviews for V.R

Mrs AM Jenkins, Hampshire
"Lovely fruity wine with a hint of Oak, improves when left to breath for for a day or two. Well worth any penny."


Dr P Barker,
"Tremendous, rich and full flavoured viognier that keeps me coming back for more. Quite oaky for a viognier but but still fresh and definitely refreshing. As part of the Chai au Quai 6+6 currently on offer at 6.60 a bottle, fantastic value as well."
