Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Château Blaignan
Château Blaignan is one of the oldest estates in the Médoc — said to be nearly 600 years old — and holds Cru Bourgeois status, the official quality tier just below the famous 1855 classified growths. At around $23, it punches above its price in a great Bordeaux vintage.
