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.

Brightly-scented and well-formed defined fruit purity. Not heavy but well done. Energy and richly oaky classicism. Good direction and flow, crunchy texture. If the acidity shines a touch it is on br...

2016 CHÂTEAU DE CÉRONS Graves
Left Bank Bordeaux France 13% Red
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Very supple and silky. Very civilised and not emphatic, just very nicely done. Suave, and there is good fruit, even if it does not shout about it. A perfect gentleman of a wine.

2012 CHÂTEAU GLORIA Cru Bourgeois Saint Julien
Left Bank Bordeaux France 13% Red
