Bordeaux today produces deliciously approachable, fruit-forward wines that are really good value. Even better in the appealing ripe vintage of 2022. This wine is Merlot based, from a small family estate. Enjoy lots of silky, ripe red fruits.
There are some superb quality wines to be had at great-value prices. Château Haut Canteloup is a top estate in the Médoc. Enjoy here its excellent 2016, with 8 years’ maturity.
With four Trophies and 80+ Golds, Château La Clarière is clear proof that Castillon wines can surpass those of Grand Cru St-Émilion. From the exceptional 2020 vintage, this rich, velvety claret, packed with fruit, deserves its five Golds.
