Chateau Cru Godard 2022 / Bordeaux Francs

Marianne Blom — Solid Bordeaux, nothing flashy

7/10

This is a good honest red. Not trying to be anything it isn't — just well-made wine with decent structure and a clean finish. I liked the savoury notes especially. At £20 it's fair value but I wouldn't call it a bargain.

Isabella Rossi — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and we cracked it open with some lamb chops. Really layered — you keep finding new things in each sip, dark fruit at first then these savoury earthy bits come through. At 14% it's got some weight to it but doesn't feel heavy. Genuinely enjoyed this one.

Priscilla Nunes — Good weeknight red, keeps well too

7/10

Had a glass on Friday and finished the bottle Saturday — actually thought it was better on the second day which was a nice surprise. Quite fruity with a dry finish that lingers. The wine shop guy said it could age a few years too so I grabbed another bottle to stick in the cupboard. Decent Bordeaux for the price.
