Château Les Moutins 2019, Bordeaux AOP
https://shop.thewinecellargroup.com/...9119_L_jpg.jpg
For Bordeaux with lots of smooth, ripe fruit appeal, choose Château Les Moutins. 2019 was a great vintage – well balanced with deliciously ripe fruit. Nearly-all Merlot, this velvety claret makes delightful drinking now and over the next 4 years.
Château Les Moutins lies on the Right Bank of the Garonne. It has been family owned since 1852 and boasts 60 hectares of vineyard, most of those 20+ years old. The clay, limestone and chalk soils are key to the freshness and expressive aromas of the wine, redolent of ripe plum, redcurrant and rose petal. Merlot is the main grape on this side of the river, which accounts for the voluptuous, velvety style of the wine.
Tasting notes: Silky red fruits, creamy plum, sapid and leafy
Aroma: Juicy plum, redcurrant, floral hints, green leaf
13% ABV About £20 a bottle Drink by end of 2026
Château Le Coin Bordeaux 2020, Bordeaux AOC
https://www.laithwaites.co.uk/images...t/0607720b.png
The noise surrounding Bordeaux is usually focused on the unreachable 1er growths. But, if you know where to look, there are bargains to be found. Ludovic Roussillon’s Château Le Coin is the perfect example. Thanks to the strict, historic appellation boundaries, Ludovic’s estate shares the same fine, Saint-Emilion limestone soil but falls just outside the official boundary, on the other side of the river. Meaning top-shelf wine, but without the eyewatering price. The efforts pay off, winning countless Golds for this silky, rich claret.

Aroma:
Ripe plum with notes of tobacco and spice
14.5% ABV About £13 - 15 a bottle Drink by end of 2024
