As with Aldi's fine white Bordeaux, this claret is worth spending a little extra on. It's showing nice maturity already, with savoury saddle leather spice enhancing red plum and bright cassis fruit – a natural partner for roast beef. Online only. The 2018 Château Les Trois Manoirs (£8.49) is a good-value buy.
