They're hotbeds of innovation, experimentation, affordability and sustainability. For as much as they fly under the radar, the Côtes de Bordeaux are instigating and leading a dynamic kind of change in the world's largest fine wine region.

So what are the Côtes de Bordeaux? Where are they? And who are all these mostly family-run, smaller-scale producers who together produce 1 in 10 bottles of Bordeaux? 

In this, the concluding instalment of our 3-part sponsored mini-series on Bordeaux, we dive in to find out more about the intriguing world of the Côtes de Bordeaux. We hear from Bordeaux expert Jane Anson and chat to Pauline Lapierre of Château Haut-Rian, plus we recommend some great value wines along the way.

What's more, we have a GIVEAWAY! So, if you want to win a mixed case of 6 bottles of fine Bordeaux, just recommend us to a friend and then let us know. Either tag a friend in a social post of ours (details below) or email us (details on our website).

OR click here to leave us a quick voice message via SpeakPipe (super easy - don't forget your contact details though!) 

We'll pick a winner by Monday 14th Feb. Entrants must be 18+ and deliveries can only be made within the UK. All competition details can be found on our website.
