Bordeaux — it's one of those words that, when said aloud, will cause most wine lovers to sit up and take notice. Seeing as how the region has been making legendary wines for centuries, you might think there are very few secrets left to reveal regarding the region’s offerings. And with the prices of the well-known Grands Crus soaring ever higher, you may think there are few great Bordeaux in your price range. And happily, you'd be very much mistaken! For those brave enough to stray off the well-worn path of the major wine publications, Bordeaux offers a nearly endless array of under-the-radar wines that offer amazing value for the money.
Known as "petit château" Bordeaux, these are, by and large, multi-generational family-owned vineyards that work hard to make their wines in the shadows of the more famous Grand Cru Classés of Bordeaux. As direct importers, we're incredibly fortunate to be able to try hundreds of these lovely wines each year, curating a list that we feel is one of the finest selections of petit châteaux anywhere. We invite you to peruse our list of the many delicious, affordable petit château Bordeaux we have in stock and to visit our store and talk to our wine team to learn more about them. As always, the best (and most fun) way to learn is to try them!
