Supermarket wines: Auchans Montagne Saint-Emilion 2020
Auchans own label called Pierre Chanau is quite reliable, at least that’s my experience from the last few years. Except a few underperforming bottles I had mostly good to very good ones, and many are great values. This Montagne Saint-Emilion is another well-made wine. Continue reading

Supermarket wines: Pierre Chanau Brouilly 2020
Supermarket wines: Léo de la Gaffeliére Bordeaux 2016
A bit more than 6 years old and this little Bordeaux red is in a great form. That’s not common from such relatively cheap wines from other wine regions…
Supermarket wines: Lidl’s Corte Alle Mura Chianti Riserva 2018

Yet one another superb everyday Bordeaux from Auchan. Probably no surprise that it’s a Cotes de Bourg, that appellation offers so much for little money.
