If you are willing to look around and stay away from the Grands Crus, there are a lot of petits Bordeaux that can.
Amongs Bordeaux wines that do not break the bank, count Chateau Les Pins de Bossuet (2003).
A Bordeaux Superieur, It is 60% Merlot and equal part Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon for the balance.
Perfect with cheese or a good match with any meats if you plan on firing up the backyard grill for the week-end now that the weather is warming up.
It is full yet well rounded and offers soft tannins.
It was selected by wine merchants Benoit and Valerie Calvet.
Retails around $12. Fits in the Consumed to Thrifty trend.
Other Petits Bordeaux: A great petit Bordeaux from the Abbey, 'Les Vignes Du Soir' (2003)
