If you missed any of these outstanding blends the first time around or would simply like to enjoy highly rated Bordeaux more often, look no further than this selection of top rated 2019 Bordeaux bargains, all scoring 92 pts. and above from an outstanding vintage in a range of styles and perfect for mixing a case or two or choosing a few favorites at impressive value prices under $35.

From one of the largest Haut-Medoc estates under the same management as Chateau Beychevelle, the 92 pt. 2019 Chateau Beaumont offers dark spiced fruit on a silky finish in a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend described by Neal Martin of Vinous as “a bloody great Beaumont,” while the “gorgeous” 93 pt. 2019 Mauvesin Barton from 100% Cabernet Franc is “a gracious, beautifully lifted Moulis” that’s “very tasty” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, the estate undergoing a renaissance since its purchase by the owners of St. Julien estates Chateau Leoville Barton and Langoa Barton in 2011. Built on the legacy of one of Bordeaux’s most esteemed enologists, the late Denis Dubourdieu, the “exceptionally beautiful” 92 pt. 2019 Clos Floridene Rouge is “an absolute winner” according to critic Galloni, described by Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson as “an excellent Graves red” that was crafted by Dubourdieu’s son Jean-Jacques. A pair of exceptional second wines from two top Bordeaux estates, the 93 pt. 2019 Angelique de Monbousquet is a dark and powerful Merlot blend with a “smoky, graphite, gravelly earth-driven bouquet” promising another ten years of longevity according to Jeb Dunnuck, while Neal Martin of Vinous describes the 92 pt. 2019 Chateau Haut-Batailley Verso as “endowed with splendid concentration” and “well worth seeking out.” Described by the Wine Advocate’s William Kelley as “a wine of real charm and character,” Antonio Galloni calls the 95 pt. 2019 Chateau Cantemarle “super classy from start to finish” and Neal Martin declares there’s “no excuse not to have this in your cellar." A blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot grown in estate vineyards north of First Growth Haut-Brion, the 96 pt. 2019 Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion boasts “the sense of minerality, elegance and freshness of Pessac” according to Inside Bordeaux’s Jane Anson with a rich, velvety mouthfeel summed up by Decanter’s Georgina Hindle as “pure elegance.”

All highly rated, age worthy blends promising years of enjoyment, these 2019 Bordeaux bargains are for fans and collectors looking to pop the cork on top scoring Bordeaux more often without breaking the bank, delivered in perfect provenance and priced for stocking up.

The 2019 Mauvesin Barton is gorgeous. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, tobacco, mint and spice lend nuance to this gracious, beautifully lifted Moulis. The 2019 is understated yet wonderfully expressive and very tasty.

91 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Feb 2022)

This is a ripe, full wine, the fruit dominant and the tannins in a supporting role. That gives the wine density and structure along with a richness that are well-suited to aging. Drink from 2025.
