Another chance to see: My latest tasting report, The Mille Feuille Matters. I explore the St Emilion côte with David Suire, and taste Château Larcis Ducasse, from 2023 to 1959.

One of my favourite (bargain) properties is out today, Ch Laroque from the exceptionally talented @David_Suire
£117/6 IB or £27~ on the table all in! Tony G loved it: "Laroque is positively stellar in 2025" #bdx25
Château Laroque has been on a great run of form of late, a latecomer to selling EP, but pricing is always senseible. This falls into the category of just a lovely wine to have for the future at just £117 per 6 IB. (95-97 LPB, 96 DC). #bdx25 https://t.co/QePxBwdf6S
As with all lists..it is a completely subjective endeavor and is more of a starting point than a firm hierarchy….Nevertheless, I hope it does offer some high-level guidance toward wines I think are worth buying and having in your cellar. https://t.co/ttMpo88Ahd
With all the sub-100-a-bottle wines released from Bordeaux 23, my final value rankings/scores in the context of the vintage are below.
It's a late entry from Château Tronquoy, but Château Laroque comes out top, not for the first time in recent history.

The top three buys from #Bordeaux2023 to date in my opinion:
Château de Fieuzal - £120 per 6 IB - 94-96 RP
Château Laroque - £120 per 6 IB - 94-96 NM
Château Lilian Ladouys - £72 per 6 IB - 91-93 RP
