2009 Bordeaux recommendations
 

We have been on a mission trying to find out the best value for money wines in the 2009 primeurs campaign.

 

Below is a list of of wines we tasted en primeur achieving some of our top marks and which should be available at under £20 a bottle - some considerably under £20.
