hahahahhahaha... I generally take 2-3 points off his scores... I noticed though, when he gives wines big time scores (over 95) he's generally pretty spot as it being a great wine in IMO.
@@drmatthewhorkey I agree, he’s too high and inconsistent for me now, used to agree with him more. Plus, he seems to have more scores out there than any other single reviewer …. I can’t believe that doesn’t have an affect on his palate.
Glad you picked Beaumont. I am currently drinking the '14s, which are terrific value. My wine merchant's (The Wine Society) Exhibition range includes a claret made by Beaumont, which is also excellent value. I like the blind tasting formula. Years ago I used to run monthly tastings and they were always blind. It helped to concentrate on the wine rather than the label and we had some fun voting on favourites and guessing prices etc. We once had a Lafite (albeit from a lesser vintage) in the line-up and it finished near the bottom, including from me and I knew what it was! Vintage is important, as you say.
I'll definitely try these. I'm quite new to drinking wine seriously (about a year in) and I drank in total about 20 bottles of bordeaux, so take my suggestion with a pinch of salt, but I think my favorite was Chateau Moulin Du Cadet, Saint Emilion Grand Cru 100% Merlot 2018 (I paid about 30€). In general, Bordeaux is my go-to region for quality-price wine and I tend to gravitate around the 15-20€ range.
That Saint Emillion is actually the best wine in the Cadet range IMO so good job. There can be great value in Bordeaux if you find a good shop to recommend you good bottles. Enjoy the wine journey.
I really like Château de La Rivière, Fronsac - terrific wine with really good aging potential, and impressive price to value. The 2016 one is looking to be a great one. Very nice selection of bordeaux in this video, will check them out - subbed.
Many thanks! The 2016 and 2018 vintages are stellar indeed. There are some previous videos on Bordeaux and an upcoming blind tasting on Classified Growths vs California Cabs!
I recently spent a month touring Brunello, Barolo, CDP, Gigondas, and Bordeaux. In my opinion Bordeaux has the least value amongst those areas relative to quality, so the lowest QPR. There are 6,000 chateaus in Bordeaux, and I think there are about 200 that are outstanding, and maybe another 200 that are quite good, so at least 5,600 chateaus that are producing mediocre to poor quality wines. Many of them are not cheap, so unless you get up into the $75 or more range the wines that you're drinking in Bordeaux are not particularly enjoyable. But then again that's just my flavor profile and my opinion.
We are heading to Bordeaux in October and are trying to organize some bookings for tours and tastings… If you have any recommendations, we would greatly appreciate some direction. It’s very overwhelming.🍷 cheers
I buy Beaumont and Peyrabon regularly, I also enjoy Chateau Cissac too! Great video, really informative and some wines to look out for! Thanks Matthew. Some great value Bordeaux from the Wine Society in the UK.
I think the Right bank are the great values recently. Not sure of the prices now but on Futures, La Prade($15), Puygueraud($20), Fontenil($25) Left Bank--Lanessan($25), Haut Bergey(Pessac, $25-30)
Very good call by you, especially in appellations like Fronsac… you might like this video on Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux - ua-cam.com/video/3mUCAYxPf3I/v-deo.html
Glad to see Beaumont still performing. They always did well in the restaurant. Machine harvested, if I remember correctly, which really helps to keep costs down. It’s good to see those savings passed on to the consumer.
@@drmatthewhorkey I do yes, and used to have a lot more say in the wine at my last place. You know, I never really considered it, but when I saw that Beaumont was machine harvested I suppose it was just a confirmation bias thing, because I was always very impressed with the quality to price proposition. We were able to put it on at £50-60. I think 2016 was the last I tried and all 2016 was pretty good. Subscribed, mate. It’s great to see more approachable, yet well-researched and otherwise serious wine content on UA-cam. Good luck.
Try Chateau La Tonnele from Haut-Medoc. It's 20$ and over delivers for the price in my opinion. All recent vintages I have tried have been amazing for the price!
Just discovered your channel. Great presentation. Lillian Ladouys along with Ch Capbern and Charmail have been my gotos. Will definitely check out your other bottles for consumption. Thanks.
Thanks for the compliment! Good suggestions and let me know how it goes. I have a video of actually being on site at Lillian Ladouys here: ua-cam.com/video/Rcujz-To5g0/v-deo.html
So many hit and misses with Cru Bourgeois that I don't bother with them. I find second wines from Classified Growths or even Crus Classes de Graves offer high enough QPR. I didn't know Beychevelle made a third wine. I will look for this and see if my palate matches yours.
I agree with you on Cru Bourgeois, although there are some delicious ones (all of them here). I DO NOT think you will be disappointed with the example from Beychevelle.
@@drmatthewhorkey Thank you. Big fan of your work 🙏🏼. Whenever you are in Sweden let me know and I’ll treat you with some great wine! We start to get some really good Swedish wines now, in city of Malmö a resturant has the best selection of local Swedish wine.
You have to try "Ronan by Clinet". It is made by the people from Chateau Clinet (Pomerol). This wine is 100% merlot, made in a modern Pomerol style. For 16 Euro you can't go wrong here. 90+ points imho. PnP or age it a few years, both outstanding. the 2016 is a fenomenal vintage for this one, but I am already looking out for the 2018. (note: points don't matter, only your taste does!) Cheers! Rick.
Sovignon, not savignon is the correct pronunciation for savignon. Sorry, one of my pet hates! Great video going to seek some of those out. In terms of value in Bordeaux, my go to has always been ch Poujeaux but prices have increased a lot in recent years. When you next go to France seek out ch de prade in Belves de Castillon. Biodynamic production, fantastic wine at phenomenal value.
I recently had a $18 Château Mayne Mazerolles Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux 2020 that blew me and others away. Tasted better than many $45+ wines. I wish I could find it again online or southern CA
The first time I found and had Chateau Beaumont I paid only $14. Came back the next day to buy a case and everything was gone. So for everybody out there, when you see Chateau Beamont on the shelf just buy as much as you can because they are always a great buy! Another great QPR I enjoy is Cht. Lanessan. Love your videos, cheers!
Chateau Mancedre. This wine absolutely made me fall in love with Bordeaux as a region. Rich earthy and leather notes on the nose and it exploded on the palate with rich fruit flavors and very balanced acidity.
Great format ! Shame that the 92’s are not available here in Brazil ! And the others cost 100 us dollars here. The taxes from European wine are crazy …
Yes you can get great Bordeaux for under $30. Here’s a few, 2018 Château Lilian Ladouys, 2018 Château La Rose Perriere, 2018 Château Laborde, and 2016 Château Plincette.
@@drmatthewhorkey Thanks. I became excited to post and didn’t wait to see you had already reviewed the Lilian Ladouys hahaha. That one is my go to and I have a few cases of the 2018, 2019, and 2020. If you ever get a chance try the 2019. It’s the shining star of the bunch. Also, I’ve noticed these wines need at least an hour in the decanter before they hit the glass. A lot of that capsicum peppery notes fade and more black fruit, vanilla, cassis shows up. Cheers 🍷
Capbern St Estephe 2018&19-$30/$24, 2nd wine of Calon Segur 18/19-$33/$30. Right Bank d'Aiguilhe, Fronsac: Dalem, Fontenil, La Vieille Cure all three Rock.
I think Chateau Poujeaux, Branas Grande Poujeaux, Le Boscq but also something like Cambon la Pelouse in great vintages for exemple, L'esprit de Chevalier too, they performe all very well at it's price category
Well. you picked 2 of them.. Beaumont and Lilian.. are secret wines, so don't talk too much about them :) We woulden want the price to go up too much :)
Great channel. I just discovered it. Nice bottles. Yes true. You can find pretty high quality bordeaux at resonably prices. I just bought some bottles of Carrone ste Gemme 2016 on offer at 18$ a bottle. Really good. I bought some Cambon la Pelose 2016 at only 9$. At a supermarket. I bought all 9 bottles immediatly. Before they discovered they where selling the bottlrs way too low. Other stuff like that i buy too
@@drmatthewhorkey yes. It was crazy. They had it in a wodden box with 3 bottles. 1 2015 and 1 2016. And 1. 2017 They sold thay box at 50$. I boughr one box. But then for some strange reason they sold the last 3 boxes at only at 27$. When i saw that i immediately bought those 3 boxes.
I live in California ,San Luis Obispo county so I buy local wines. Chardonnay from Edna valley, Cabernet and Rhône Blends from PasoRobles and Pinot Noirs from Santa Maria and the Santa Ynez valley. Austin Hope makes a Graziano that’s outstanding too.
Another great video Matthew! Great job keeping it real. There are do many good buys but the challenge is locating them. For me Lanessan, Patches d'Aux, Potensac, Peyrabon, Clarke, Greysac and Meyney.

Chateau Cantemerle? Consistently good, fifth growth wine for second wine prices! been drinking this since 1989 vintage.
