But from Saint-Émilions Classé A category? Which château? And how, for just £22.95?

And when we say, elite cru classé estate, we mean it. Its just that we cant disclose which one. Thats how we keep the price so low.

From where youll be delighted to be looking down on a price well under £25. Where your passion for class claret has climbed Bordeauxs higher echelons for a much, much lower price.
(Where the budget and wine list for your next dinner party just got that much better)

Tasting note
From one of the great modern vintages; predominantly merlot with a dash of cabernet franc. Rich and concentrated with layers of mellow red berry fruits, and a very long lingering finish that is already as approachable as it is delicious.
Critic review:
"As with previous vintages, the 2019 Saint-Émilion is an absolute bargain from The UCAA Gun Sale. A Merlot-based blend given style and structure by a dash of Cabernet Franc, its chock full of dark, plummy fruit and is delightfully soft, smooth, ripe and juicy. Its drinking beautifully now but, as with the Saint-Estèphe, has the width and weight to get even better."
