One privilege of living in France is to enjoy a lovely drop of wine and it doesn’t have to break the bank.
I love a drop of red with a piece of cheese, preferably an 18 month comte with a nice red Bordeaux.
I have tried many wines since I arrived in France and never spent a lot of money to do so. What are your favourite budget French wines?
Here are my choices:
L’enclos DES TUILERIERS Bordeaux Lidl
LES ORMES de CAMBRAS Merlot L eclerc/Intermache
ROCHE MAZET Pays D’Oc Chardonnay L eclerc/Intermache
These wines are normally between 2.0-3.0€ per bottle and can often be found on special by the case.
What are your favourites?

Anonymous6th March 2020 at 7:55 pm #520599Over the years I havent found a Bordeaux I can honestly say I have liked (OK take away St Emilion) if I dig deeper in the wallet I have found a few but….I am more of a Burgundy person, not neccessarily the top plonk but having just returned from Spain, we have again brought back a supply of Rioja’s ranging from just €2,99 up to a price where we will open it quitely and glug it down ourselves. We also bring back Cava ready for the summer but France do have some nice sparkling wines as good as “lower costing” (for lack of a better word) Champagne, Clairette de Die and Cremant de Limoux being just two.
