These are wines we'd happily pour at our own table: proper Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends with the structure and food-friendliness Bordeaux is known for, sourced directly from growers rather than négociants. Appellations like Côtes de Bourg and parts of the Haut-Médoc often produce claret with genuine pedigree at a fraction of the price of the classified growths next door - explore Bordeaux by appellation to find these pockets of value for yourself. If you're building confidence with claret before spending more, this is the ideal place to explore.
