TOP VALUES OF BORDEAUX 2025
BORDEAUX, FRANCE
Here are ten wines that deliver authentic Bordeaux character and complexity — eight of them less than $35 a bottle … and all stateside and in our possession, ready to deliver to your preferred store.
The star of the show? Château Smith Haut Lafitte’s ‘Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte’ 2020, a steal of a 96-pointer at less than $36. "Structured and serious but also there's lots of life with great acidity and a mouth-filling crushed stone texture”, Decanter wrote. “A lovely Petit in 2020 that will also age well. Serious but captivating.."
But there’s more where that came from. The 94-point Château Labegorce 2020 hits similar heights – Jane Anson fell for its "cassis fruits, studded with fennel, anis, cut herbs, raspberry leaf and smoked earth, delivering complexity and pleasure.” She went on to add, “A brilliant wine, and a great value pick.”.
Whether you’re planning a special occasion, or you’d just like to have something reliably wonderful on hand for any night of the week, it’s hard to beat these wines for quality and value.
Each is available by the case only, so think about laying in for two or even three — giving yourself a healthy stock of accessible greatness for all the good times ahead.
But act now; at these prices, we don’t expect these to stick around for long!
