U'wine Wine Fair: Back to School, Back to Great Bottles

What we've lined up

The selection spans France's greatest wine regions at their most serious: 9 Bordeaux including several Grands Crus Classés, 8 Burgundies in red and white (from the clever entry-level to the commanding Premier Cru), 4 Rhône Valley wines from Hermitage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and compelling finds from Languedoc, the Loire, and beyond.

On vintages: three registers. Drink-now wines (2014, 2015, 2017 — at their peak, waiting would be a mistake), benchmark great vintages at their best (2018, 2019 — check our vintage guide to understand why these years are so consistently praised), and a few rising values from 2020–2022 at still-accessible prices.

The star: Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2015

Let's not pretend otherwise: when a 2nd Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Julien from the solar 2015 vintage shows up in a wine fair, you mark it in your diary. Ducru-Beaucaillou is the Bordeaux definition of elegance — dark fruit, cedar, endless length. At this price, not picking up a few bottles would be a genuine oversight.

For those who think quality starts at €50...

Meet Domaine Woillemont 2024, a fresh and characterful Languedoc wine at under €9 a bottle, exclusively at U'wine. Proof that drinking well is not a privilege.
