Côtes-du-Rhône Viognier, Domaine Les Grands Bois 2024
Save £18 per case of 12 thanks to The Spectator Magazine
"The 2024 Domaine Les Grands Bois Viognier is the latest vintage of another great favourite of mine (and one of yours too, it seems, as it always sells out when we offer it). Ava liked its warming feeling and Mrs Ray detected a complex mix of peach, apricot and ripe banana. Mike declared it the vinous equivalent of a well-made Negroni (I'm still working that one out), adding that it was drinking very well (a bit of wine-speak with which he was very chuffed). Yep, that hits the spot, murmured Bibi."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine (Tasted in August 2025)
The Farjon family vineyard Domaine des Grands Bois of four generations, with two superb red wines, also makes a glorious white from the delicious Viognier grape. Now rightly ultra fashionable, this relatively difficult grape to grow was amazingly nearly abandoned 50 years ago. This has been our house white wine since we discovered it more than 10 years ago. The new 2024 vintage is superb and a refreshing alternative to chardonnay, sauvignon blanc or riesling.

This is the most incredible bargain. I love southern Rhone whites especially Condrieu, but that's sadly too good and too expensive to drink everyday. £14.95! for a wine produced from Viognier grapes grown on those wonderful slopes you see as you head away from Lyon on the Autoroute de Soleil. Glorious place, delicious wine with lovely fruit, fresh blossom all so fresh. Next time we drive down to the South of France I am going to be the passenger, sipping this Viognier. Thank you for the recommendation of this lovely wine and thank you to John Livingstone-Learmonth for introducing me to this great river.
Delicious - one of the better bottles of Viognier you can hope to order.
