Bourgeois Bargain "Half Cabernet, the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. Robert Parker thinks this cru bourgeois is like a Saint-Julien and he has a point. Seriously good value."
Ample potential "Lush, rich, supple and smooth with a stylish touch of toasty oak. Plenty of potential."
Sheer Elegance "Beautifully crafted and mainly Cabernet, this cru bourgeois is all about cassis, gentle oak and sheer elegance."
Fleshy and ready "Puygueraud makes fleshy wines with 80 per cent Merlot. This 2016 is ready but will hold."
Classic claret "This vintage was made by Huubert de Bouard of Chateau Angelus and it's just ready but will continue to evolve for several years."
