Ten years after the much-hyped 2015 vintage, we invite you to taste the staying power of Bordeaux’s petit châteaux. We’ve assembled ten standout wines from both Left and Right Bank—every one of them under $100. These are the petit châteaux that insiders quietly collect: wines with pedigree, precision, and aging potential, but without the first-growth fanfare. Some have quietly climbed in stature over the last decade. Others still fly under the radar.
Expect wines that overdeliver for the price and challenge the assumption that Bordeaux brilliance always comes at a premium.
