Bordeaux Hot 50 Returns For Second Year

After a successful first year, the Hot 50 Bordeaux Wines Selection is back. A celebration of the very best of modern Bordeaux, the Hot 50 2021 selection highlights the exceptional quality, unexpected diversity and incredible value that the Bordeaux region has to offer.

From dry and aromatic white wines, fruity rosés, sparkling Crémants, sweet wines and soft, fruit-forward modern reds there really is something for everyone and for any occasion!

The 2021 Hot 50 was chosen by a panel of experts, including wine buyers, sommeliers, educators and journalists, chaired by Richard Bampfield MW. Together, they swirled and sipped their way through the dry whites, rosés, Crémants and modern style reds entered, all of which are available in the UK and retail between £6 – £25, to select the 50 wines that most excite them.

The selection is divided into 4 categories:

Ethical Wines – organic, biodynamic and other environmental certificates
Fresh & Crisp Wines – white wine & Crémant de Bordeaux
Smooth & Fruity – soft and fruity reds, rosé and Crémant de Bordeaux Rosé
Rich & Complex – full-bodied, complex and powerful red, white and sweet wines

The list makes it much easier to decide when faced with choosing a wine for any occasion. So why not try one of these Hot 50 Bordeaux wines and discover why the judges selected them? The full list is available here.
