If you’re a fan of classic french reds that combine great quality with incredible value, look to wines labelled ‘bordeaux supérieur’. A step up from your average bottle, these delicious blends are made from vines with lower yields of grapes. Lower yields mean more concentrated flavours – and once you add a minimum of 12 months of oak ageing, you’re in for a flavourful, complex wine that’s a steal for the quality. We’re proud to have the uk exclusive on this example. Its distinctive label is inspired by the fortified turrets – or ‘tourelles’ – that were built to defend bordeaux from sea faring invaders. Expect fresh notes of black fruits, spice, menthol and a hint of liquorice. It’s a versatile wine that’ll pair well with charcuterie and other cold meats.
