Description The noise surrounding Bordeaux is usually focused on the unreachable first growths. But, if you know where to look, there are bargains to be found. After 50 years of practice, our talent lies in sniffing out great-value, quality wines. Ludovic Roussillon’s Château Le Coin is the perfect example. Thanks to the strict, historic appellation boundaries, Ludovic’s estate shares the same fine, Saint-Emilion limestone soil, but falls just outside the official boundary, on the other side of the river. Meaning top-shelf liquid but without the pain of the price. He’s a one-man-band, growing his own grapes and making his own wine, so you’ll never see him out of his blue overalls. His efforts pay off, winning countless Golds for his silky, rich claret. Smooth and silky with ripe damson, cassis fruit; hints of spicy oak and aromas of tobacco.
