Consistently excellent - this Gold medal claret from a family estate is silky with creamy ripe fruit"
At £8.99 a bottle “
it tastes like a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, but at half the price!” Buying a case of 12 will, at £107.88, save you £12.
Since 2009, I have praised Château Le Coin several times on the Forum, so not surprisingly I have bought another case.
I think Aldi are selling this but it may be a bit more expensive than the price you quoted?
