Best-value Bordeaux white wines: Top 20 picks from Entre-Deux-Mers

This delicious, fresh and precise white comes from the home estate of Pierre Lurton, managing director of Château Cheval Blanc in St. Emilion and Château d'Yquem in Sauternes. It has Granny Smith apple, pear and peach notes alongside apricot and nectarine juice with a hint of creaminess around the edges from ageing in oak barrels. Serve cold and pair with any type of seafood. The 65 hectare vineyard of Château Marjosse is HVE certificated and planted to 45% Semillon, 45% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Muscadelle for the white wine.

This has real freshness and zing on the palate, something you hope to find in these whites. It has good depth of flavour with green apple, lemon and nectarine with touches of lime zest. Dangerously drinkable and perfect for hot summer days.

Fresh and mouthwatering, this has a faint mineral edge alongside peach and nectarine flavours on the palate. It's juicy and inviting with a satisfying lemon sherbet lift at the end. Good length and density and great apéritif option.

A lovely fragrant and fresh nose here combining lime and apricot notes. This is really zingy on the palate, it doesn't have too high acidity but there's a good amount of mouthwatering juice and some complexity around the edges making it feel more round and complete than some of the others in the line-up. A lovely easy drinking white. Made with 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 19% Sauvignon Gris, 6% Semillon and 5% Muscadelle.

From the Barreau family’s 6th generation estate in Entre-Deux-Mers this 100% Sémillon feels complex and well made with a good amount of juicy fruit and lift. It has rounded flavours of tropical pineapple and grapefruit alongside crunchy apple and citrus with a zesty lift at the end keeping things fresh and lively.

This has a wonderful spritzy, lemon zip here, with a lively citrus-infused palate and creamy round edges. A balanced long finish keeps the flavour going and this would work well with or without food.

Lively on the nose and palate here with juicy lemon and crisp green apple, peach flesh and grapefruit rind flavours. There's lift at the end and good length keeping it refreshing all the way through. Made with 5% Muscadelle, 85% Sauvignon, 10% Sémillon.

Made from 60-year-old Sémillon vines that lie mostly on a silica clayey hilltop with gravely slopes, this wonderful typicity of aromas on the nose. On the palate, it's less juicy and mouthwatering than I was expecting but it has real structure and depth of flavour with hints of green olive, flint, vanilla and toast. This is a different style to the others in the line-up but one worth seeking out and to pair with a host of different foods.

A wonderfully aromatic nose with almost sweet apricot notes and floral touches. This is slightly more tropical in profile, with defined pineapple and nectarine flavours. It's mouthwatering and juicy with good acidity and a soft, lingering sweetness on the tongue. Made from 60% Semillon, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 13% Sauvignon Gris and 2% Muscadelle

Lively sherbert lemon flavours on the palate with great density and freshness. There's touches of sweetness, akin to sweet pineapple chunks alongside apricot and peach flesh. It's balanced and what you want to find in these wines. Ideal for everyday drinking and would pair well with cold oysters and sunshine. Suitable for Vegans.

White flower notes surround the citrussy fruit here. This has dense, juicy lemon on the mouthwatering palate and feels a bit more structured and rounded with hints of creaminess even. A touch of Grapefruit pith adds welcome bitterness that gives bite. A great value, easy-drinking wine.

Pineapple and mango on the nose with a definite peach and tropical taste. It has good juice and concentration in the mid palate and lime zest at the finish with creamy edges. Long length also. It's not overly complex but great for everyday drinking.

Tropical flavours here, almost like a fruit salad flavour with zippy pineapple juice. It's clean, lively and fresh, with nice length and lift. Easy drinking on a summer's day. Made from 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle.

A Sauvignon Blanc dominant wine, this is fresh and floral with pear drop flavours on the nose and palate. It has good acidity and defined lemon and apple flavours. This is softer than some, more creamy and round. It's subtle and not overly showy but with a nice lift at the end.

Very light nose with hints of lemon sherbert. Fresh and lively on the mid-palate with zip and lift. This is really drinkable and perfect to crack open on a hot summer's day.

Perfumed on the nose, aromatic with aromas and flavours of gooseberry, grapefruit and green apple. There is both a hint of minerality and some creaminess on the palate with a vibrant and uplifting finish. Would pair well with spicy prawn noodles or Thai prawn curry.

A wonderful nose here with grassy notes, nettle perhaps or freshly cut herbs and a thicker, more rounded texture. On the palate there's lemon, grapefruit and peach but it's subtle and not overly mouthwatering. Drink with light seafood and summery salads. Demeter certified.
