Dating back thousands of years to the arrival of the Romans with their vine cuttings, the Bordeaux region was immediately identified as having the potential to produce world-class wine. Fast forward to today, this potential has been realized, and Bordeaux is firmly associated with some of the world’s greatest wines. Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted in some of the best locations in the region, where the grapes profit from the access to sunshine and cooling maritime breezes. What makes a Bordeaux Cabernet special is its balance of sweet fruit and savory elements, along with mineral notes - all found in this special bottle of Vol Royal, which we are proud to share with you.

With Vol Royal, we have a vision and a purpose – to provide the same quality of Bordeaux Cabernet as the legendary chateaux, yet accessible to American wine drinkers for everyday consumption. To achieve this mission, we forged relationships with some of the biggest names in the Bordeaux region, build a sense of reliability and trust, and gained access to both fruit sources and technical knowhow previously reserved for the most exclusive tier of wines. Thus, Vol Royal was born, your boarding pass to a flight of Cabernet royalty.
WINEMAKING PROCESS
Despite its humble price tag, no expense was spared in the production of this classically styled Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon. Vol Royal was aged in high-quality French oak, further softening the tannins and adding layers of complexity and refinement before being bottled.
