Description Bordeaux headlines are usually focused on the unreachable first growths. But, if you know where to look, there are great-tasting bargains to be found. After 50 years of practice, our talent lies in sniffing out great-value, quality wines. Ludovic Roussillon’s Le Coin is the perfect example. Thanks to the strict, historic appellation boundaries, Ludovic’s estate shares the same fine limestone soil as Saint-Emilion, but falls outside the official boundary, on the other side of the river. Meaning top-shelf liquid but without the higher price. He’s a one-man-band, growing his own grapes and making his own wine, so you’ll never see him out of his blue overalls. His efforts pay off, winning countless Golds for his silky, rich, usually Gold-medal red from the same limestone soils as Saint-Emilion, and customers love it.
