Metairie has grown with its well-known grape varieties. Wines made with Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon have been highly acclaimed in the past. Even more so: they have definitively put Metairie on the international map. And rightly so. Metairie wanted something new and released Les Barriques Viognier.

The French are more than happy to share Metairie's wines.

A top Viognier this one from Metairie

While Metairie focuses on major international grape varieties, the Metairie Les Barriques Viognier is also a highly successful experiment. Unique to this white wine is its oak aging. This is unusual: Viognier is usually released without oak aging. However, Metairie remains dynamic yet distinctive. Exceptional wines at a great price—that's Metairie's vision. This white wine perfectly achieves that. While Viognier primarily produces masterful wines in the Côte du Rhone, they also have a knack for producing them in the South of France.

The taste of Metairie Les Barriques Viognier is robust yet refreshing: the best of both worlds. Mildly dry on the palate. Refined hints of yellow fruit and a hint of vanilla dominate the palate. The finish of Metairie Les Barriques Viognier is long and captivating. This white wine lingers forever on your palate.
