PLATINUM WIN
PAUILLAC CLASS
At this price?
From £12.99 a bottle for perfectly
cellared, 97-point Bordeaux from
a leading Pauillac estate
Winning Platinum at the famously tough
Decanter World Wine Awards puts a wine
in the top 1%. So when this little-known
Bordeaux pulled it off, claret lovers did
a serious double take.
B by Fonbadet beat £40+ stars from
Saint-Émilion, Margaux and Pomerol –
yet it’s yours for just £12.99 a bottle
when you mix 12.
97 points, Decanter Awards
“A supple palate dressed
with dark chocolate, red
pepper and delicious pure
fruit. Floral notes, raspberry
and cassis. Light on its feet
but bursting with flavour”

The secret? It’s made by Château
Fonbadet, a family-run estate in Pauillac
– home to some of the world’s most
famous (and expensive) Bordeaux. And
their vineyards sit right next door to two
of the biggest names of all: First Growths
Château Latour and Mouton Rothschild.
With the help of Bordeaux legend Michel
Rolland, Fonbadet “has been firing on all
cylinders as of late, producing outstanding
wines in every vintage” (Jeb Dunnuck).
But even elite châteaux have been hit
by the recent crisis. In order to clear
cellars, they’re selling at ludicrous prices.
It means you get mature, top-scoring
vintages for less than current releases.
Made from vineyards outside the Pauillac
boundary, ‘B’ delivers all the know-how
without the Pauillac price tag – silky dark
fruit, tobacco, chocolate and spice, with
that unmistakable class.
Top pedigree, seven years’ ageing,
Platinum medal ... from £12.99.
Don’t hang about.
