Denis Durantou at Eglise Clinet

Now it is the turn of the ‘best value’ picks. This is the most subjective of all our ‘top tens’. The same rules apply, 10 points for a win and a star all the way down to one point for 10^th place. Usually we get a disparate set of results for this section; in all 29 estates were selected. Rather surprisingly one wine shone out as a clear winner. Denis Durantou’s La Chenade from Lalande de Pomerol took five of the possible eight top spots. Guess what we’ll all be drinking in four or five years’ time... Those who narrowly missed out included: Montlandrie, Lalande Borie, Fonbel, Haut Batailley, Grande Maye, Cantemerle and Moulin StGeorges.
