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.

2013 CHÂTEAU MEYNEY Cru Bourgeois Supérieur Saint Estèphe

2015 CHÂTEAU DE CÉRONS Graves
Left Bank Bordeaux France 12.5% Red
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Sleek dark-berry fruit - soft and succulent cassis - dominates this medium-bodied gently fleshy Graves. Not massive, but a very pretty wine which has a fine-grained elegance.

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

Plush and rounded, lively and winning with a good mid-palate feel and the quite evident oak is attractive rather than overpowering.

2012 CHÂTEAU BEAUREGARD Pomerol
Right Bank Bordeaux France 0% Red
Half-bottles
There is lovely weight here - but less tightly wound than many of these 2012s. The tannin is firm but the weight of fruit is in great balance - quite bright and restrained but finishes with persi br...
