Château Chic, Bargain BudgetChâteau Recougne Bordeaux Supérieur 2021 13%
There's something reassuring about Château on a wine label: grand stone staircases, sweeping vineyards and a French aristocrat called Henri who hasn't done his own washing-up since 1983. Château Recougne Bordeaux Supérieur 2021 brings a little Bordeaux grandeur to dinner without requiring an inherited vineyard. Bordeaux Supérieur is a recognised appellation associated with food-friendly reds; dark fruit, savoury notes and tannins are style expectations, not verified tasting notes for this bottle. For Sunday lunch, dinner with friends or leftovers in slippers. All the château, none of the inheritance tax.

Distinguished, cultured and charming, with a mischievous sense of humour beneath the polished exterior. A playful comparison, not an endorsement.
