    For anyone who loves a decent claret this is one NOT to miss. Château Le Coin has won gold medals for the fifth vintage in a row. This year, Château Le Coin won Gold at the Concours General de Bordeaux - on its ‘home patch’ so to speak.

    Grape: Merlot-based blend
    Style: Full-bodied, rich red
    Drink By: Dec 2017
    Serve at: 18°C
    Alcohol: 13.5% ABV

    "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?

    Hi Grant,

    Aldi is indeed your best bet. Trust me, Prosecco doesn’t get much better than this (as it's DOCG):

    We bought a few bottles today (had it before), so looking forward to enjoying it again!

    Nice one - I think your daughter will love it. They have two types, though (a cheaper one with a yellow label, not in the same league), so make sure you get the one with the silver label (marked DOCG on the neck), called ‘Valdobbiadene’, Superiore.

    Read about about it here, which will explain the quality: http://www.prosecco.it/en/

    This one probably doesn't sell as well as hoped:
