“There can be a lot of misconceptions and preconceived ideas about Bordeaux wines,” says Tesco wine expert, Charlotte Lemoine, “but there are a lot of amazing affordable and refreshing options on Tesco shelves as well. The Barigny sparkling wine is produced using the Charmat method and available for just £4.99, while the Des Tourelles Claret is a great option for those looking to explore Bordeaux wines without the price tag. But of course, for those wanting to really add a bit of sophistication to any meal or get together, La Raison du Château des Fougères is sure to do the trick.”

Grand Palais Médoc – £9.50

Peter Morrell, Editor, comments “I have tasted this wine and it’s a fine example of a Bordeaux. Grand Palais is a blend of three classic Bordeaux grapes. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, and the wine pours a deep ruby red colour. On the nose there are strong aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, and vanilla.

“It has a good medium to full body and the mouthfeel is very smooth. On the palate more flavours emerge, cedar, liquorice, leather and almonds. The firm tannins make the wine dry, so it is perfect for drinking with food

“The finish is very fruity and persistent. Match this wine with steak, BBQ meats, and strong cheeses.”

Cap Royal Bordeaux Rouge – £11.00

Cap Royal is a Bordeaux Supérieur that benefits from the expertise of Jean René Matignon, Technical Director of Château Pichon Baron, 2nd Grand Cru Classé. It has a beautiful aromatic complexity mingling aromas of red fruits with hints of vanilla coming from ageing in oak barrels.
