How much do you know about Viognier? 🍇 Pronounced: Vee-on-yay 🗣️

Viognier is a white grape varietal mostly grown in France, which is said to be its country of origin alongside Croatia 🇫🇷 🇭🇷

Often found as a single varietal but also commonly used as a blending grape, Viognier is luxuriously rich and aromatic, elevating the flavours of wines both white and red 🥂🍷

Plantings have increased exponentially today, but they were almost wiped out in the 1960s due to challenging environmental factors 😨⚡

Find out why we’re so glad this grape made its comeback and discover for yourself why it’s so special – by visiting the link: www.majestic.co.uk/viognier

Aspall Premier Cru Cyder: the fine, sparkling and rich Cider of the Week 🍏🍻

In 1728, Clement Chevallier started Aspall Cyder. While everyone around him said he should be growing cereals, Clement planted apple trees. Almost 300 years on, Aspall continue to pioneer British fine ‘cyder’ – spelt that way to indicate its quality and its single pressing of fruit – and the result is a dry and perfectly balanced sip.

It's been a truly Majestic couple of days at this year's London Wine Fair, as our colleagues came away with an incredible haul of nine prestigious team and individual accolades.

At the Drinks Business Awards on Tuesday, Majestic took home FIVE prizes – more than any other business:

🥇 Multiple Retailer of the Year
🥇 Retail Buying Team of the Year
🥇 On-Trade Supplier of the Year
🥇 Consumer Campaign of the Year
🥈 Fine Wine Retailer

At the Wine Buyers Awards earlier in the day, Matthew Fowkes was awarded Supermarket & Multiple Wine Buyer of the Year, with judges recognising his ability to source unique, off-the-beaten track wines and grow sales in difficult categories. Our new colleagues at Vagabond also took home some silverware after being crowned Best On-Trade Buying Team.

And on day one of the Fair, Buyer Zara Cassidy and our PR and Events Coordinator Chloe Freeman were both named among Harpers 30 Under 30 list for 2024. Harpers praised Zara’s "commitment to sustainability, which shines through so much of what she does at Majestic", including in our Wine Club subscription cases. Chloe made the list as a result of her "strategic foresight and creative decision-making", helping to drive sales of new Majestic products including our Chosen By Majestic and Definition BY Majestic own-brand ranges.

Majestic CEO John Colley said: "Huge congratulations to all of our colleagues who achieved this incredible industry recognition. Majestic has made some brilliant progress during the past 12 months, and it is great to see esteemed judges from across the industry acknowledge the work we have done across a number of key areas, including growing sales in our retail stores; enhancing our range of quality, unique wines; winning high-profile hospitality partners through our Majestic Commercial B2B team; and attracting thousands of new customers through our marketing campaigns."

Come and try these 2 in store today!!

The Cecchi family has a rich Tuscan history. And today they adopt an 18th-century winemaking method to make this a rich, fruity style of Chianti. Made primarily from Sangiovese, this is a smooth wine with notes of ripe red fruits and a balancing acidity. Excellent with mushroom pasta.

Château Méaume is owned by British couple, Alan and Sue Johnson-Hill, who were guests at the opening of the first ever Majestic store in 1980. The estate’s impressive bottlings have been stocked on our shelves ever since. Today, the winemaking is in the hands of Alan and Sue’s son, Mark, along with his wife Sandra. Together they uphold the family tradition of respecting land and vine, keeping sustainability at the heart of production. This bottling is a much-loved staple amongst our award-winning range. Bordeaux wines labelled ‘Supérieur’ are a step up from your average bottle. They’re made with grapes from lower-yielding vines and must be aged in oak for at least a year, bringing you more complexity and intensity of flavour. Expect notes of rich, dark plum and blackberry, with hints of cedar spice. It's structured yet elegant, making it a wonderful choice for everything from roasted meats, cheese and charcuterie boards, to cosy fireside sipping. Pick up a bottle and discover what’s kept it a firm favourite for over 40 years.

Managers Bargain of the week!
97% OF 151
WOULD BUY IT AGAIN
V***e Clicquot Brut Champagne

In 19th-century France, women weren’t even allowed to have bank accounts. So it's extraordinary that twenty-something Madame Clicquot turned her late husband’s business into the must-have Champagne of several European courts. Take a sip of their signature Brut and you’ll see exactly why. This is aged for twice the time legally required. The extra ageing brings biscuity and toasty flavour. It's rich – but balanced by ripe and zingy notes of citrus. Refreshing. Decadent. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award
