Chateau la Rose du Pin
Bordeaux Blanc
Mouthwatering, squeaky stainless-steel-aged, dry white bordeaux with so much tingly, lemon and lime fruit on the tongue that it would be hard to find a zingier summer white. Not as strident as the Loire sauvignons, the Bordeaux versions like this sauvignon-led ’08, with only 15 per cent sémillon in the mix, make happy summer apéritifs as well as punchy white meat and fish wines.

Chateau le Bonnat Graves
Bordeaux Rouge
Traditionally the only region in Bordeaux to make both top-quality reds and whites, Graves has lost much of its land to the new appellation of Pessac-Léognan. What remains is a collection of medium-to full-bodied whites and reds. The reds made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are supple, earthy, and tobacco-scented. The whites are made from Sémillon, Sauvignon d Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. These honeyed, soft, nutty wines are among the greatest in France.

Chateau les Trois Croix Fronsac
Bordeaux Rouge
Good balance and ripe fruit freshness in the mouth, with good tannins that are noticeable but round and creamy. A great, classic Bordeaux Vintage.
