Although a national chain, Majestic is unusual in seeking out lesser-known wines, and its adventurous policy means that it stocks an impressive range of French wines not readily found elsewhere in the UK. It has changed its 12-bottle minimum rule so that you can buy a single bottle – although you benefit from a discounted price if you buy 6 or more bottles (mixed). This does tend to mean that its clientele are more discerning and interested in wine than most casual visitors to the supermarket or local off-licence. And, their prices are good, often with multi-buy discounts on top! Staff are invariably knowlegeable and helpful and every store has good parking! – plus goof delivery nationwide from your local store and beers and lager too!
We can recommend the following wines which we know well:-
Touraine Sauvignon AC, Domaine Joel Delaunay
Beaujolais-Villages AC, Château de Maladrets (Paul Beaudet)
Brouilly AC, Domaine des Maison Neuves (Paul Beaudet)
