While élite Crus Classés clarets are supported by the world's wealthiest wine lovers, domestic demand for Bordeaux’s more accessible wines is slowing. Yet the irony is that these petits châteaux clarets have never been better.

To illustrate the point we present you with the Pobeba family's Château Roc Mignon, from the stunning 2004 vintage. This is a handcrafted blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from their painstakingly tended 20-hectare estate near Monségur. Dark, ripe, succulent and smooth, it's full of classic blackcurrant and liquorice character with just a hint of sweet spice.
