Three great buys from Bordeaux in classic style

Wilhelm Arnör — Tue, 03 Mar 2015 11:40:40 +0000

You can actually find a great many chateaux in Bordeaux in the middle price range, quite affordable. Some of them have joined together in joint marketing effort called le Grand Cercle des vins de Bordeaux. BKWine Magazine’s Wilhelm Arnör was at their presentation and found three chateaux that were particularly to his liking: Chateau Dalem, […]

Château de Chantegrive, Graves | BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 09:19:18 +0000

Château de Chantegrive is one of the few really big chateaux in AC Graves (the other big ones are in Pessac-Leognan), with 90 hectares of vines. This is also the star of the Graves appellation (and one of our big favourites). The chateau is a family owned and is run by Hélène Lévêque. It was […]

Château Franc-Mayne, Saint Emilion Grand Cru | BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 17:47:23 +0000

This is a small and beautiful estate, situated very close to the pretty town of Saint Emilion. The wines here, made with merlot as the main grape variety, are classic Bordeaux wines that age beautifully for at least 12-15 years. We had a Franc Mayne 1995 for dinner the other day and it was delicious. […]

Château de Respide, vineyard in Graves | BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:21:06 +0000

There is much talk about the expensive Bordeaux wines but when you know where to look you can find very well made and delicious wines for 10-12 euro. A fairly new acquaintance is Château de Respide, owned by Franck Bonnet. The chateau is in the southern part of Graves, just outside of Langon. Franck makes […]

Château Fourcas-Hosten, Listrac – BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:06:08 +0000

We recently had a Château Fourcas-Hosten 2003, bought a few days earlier for the sum of 12 euro. It was a fantastic Bordeaux – classic in style with cedar wood and firm tannins (despite the hot summer of 2003) – and the price was as fantastic. Who says Bordeaux wines are expensive? The chateaux in […]

Château La Garde, Pessac-Léognan – BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 09:33:55 +0000

Château La Garde in Pessac-Léognan is a beautiful small chateau in the style which in French is called chartreuse. The chateau was bought by Dourthe (big négociant in Bordeaux, now owned by Champagne Alain Thienot) in 1990 and the quality of the wines has improved enormously these past few years. The vineyard consists of 60 […]

Château Lagrange, Saint Julien, Bordeaux – BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 09:20:00 +0000

This Grand Cru Classé was bought in 1983 by the Japanese beverage company Suntory which got a lot of attention at the time. A Grand Cru Classé in the hands of the Japanese! Almost a bit of a scandal. But being Japanese hasn’t really done Château Lagrange any harm. On the contrary. An enormous amount […]

Château Villars, Fronsac, Bordeaux – BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:22:00 +0000

Fronsac is not as famous as its illustrious neighbour Pomerol. But it would deserve to be. It is pretty rolling hills landscape, much nicer than the flat land in Pomerol. And the wines from the best chateaux are excellent classic clarets in style. In addition to the quality the have the great advantage of being […]
