I have found myself coming back around to Claret recently, and for less than £20 you could do a lot worse than Donjon de Lamarque. From the lauded 2016 vintage this wine is drinking beautifully now with real complexity. - Ted Sandbach, OWC

February 2024 - I have found myself coming back around to Claret recently, and you could do a lot worse than Donjon de Lamarque for the money. From the lauded 2016 vintage this wine is drinking beautifully now with real complexity. An ideal winter warmer and a demonstration of why Bordeaux is one of the world's premier wine regions.
