Best Value Bordeaux Wines
We had too many good wines to choose from when voting up the wine of the week, so we decided to draw up a short list of our best value and affordable drinking Bordeaux between £11.95 and £37.50. Over time this has extended into a larger list as our Bordeaux wine list has grown.
When we say 'value' we don't mean 'passing-off' stock, we mean seriously good wines with respectable prices that sport robust reviews and awards from some of the world's best wine critics and competitions, a combination hard to find in Bordeaux these days.
