Château Gillet 2011 - Case of 6

• "It's not often a basic red Bordeaux gets into my 'must-buy' list, but M&S has developed a knack with cheap Bordeaux. A decent individual property and a brilliant vintage (2009) combine to create ripe red plum and strawberry fruit, gentle toffee cream texture, grainy tannin and a haughty stony scent. " Recommended by Oz Clarke, 250 Best Wines 2012
• "A great year such as 2009 transforms even bog-standard claret like this into something quite palatable. Merlot-dominated with sweet, plumy fruit - slightly clunky." Recommended by Andrew Neather , Evening Standard
