Le Chai has stood on the banks of the Dordogne river for over 100 years. Here, Jean-Marc Sauboua and his team push frontiers and break down age-old preconceptions to make small batches of wine of conversation-stopping quality.

No middlemen, just lovingly crafted fine wines at way-down-to-earth prices. We make it, you enjoy it ... at prices only Le Chai makes possible!
