A wine from one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious regions - the kind served in Michelin-starred restaurants and top London steakhouses like Hawksmoor, where a single bottle can cost over £150 - is now available at Aldi for just £19.99.
The Margaux Declassified 2023 (£19.99, 75cl) headlines Aldi’s festive wine range.
Made in Bordeaux’s esteemed Margaux region, ‘Declassified’ is a subtle nod towards the wine’s heritage, where a world-renowned Château has given Aldi’s buyers access to a small parcel from its cellars.
This premium red delivers herbal aromas of cassis, cedar and ripe cherries, with a smooth, silky palate and a long, elegant finish.
Its balanced character makes it an ideal match for roast beef, lamb, or a festive spread, and a perfect choice for Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, or gifting to wine enthusiasts.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, says: “This is a rare chance to enjoy a wine from one of the world’s most sought-after regions without the premium price tag. It’s the kind of bottle that would usually be saved for special occasions in top restaurants - now available in the Aldi wine aisle.”
The Margaux Declassified 2023 is available in Aldi stores nationwide now.

What is Château Margaux?
Château Margaux is a wine estate in Margaux-Cantenac, France, and was one of five wines to achieve Premier cru (first growth) status in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855. The estate's best wines are very expensive, with a bottle of Château Margaux grand vin reaching over £500.
In fine wine terms, it's a popular choice - so much so that in the Bordeaux-soaked film Withnail and I, Withnail chooses a bottle of Chateau Margeaux 1953, which he describes as "the best of the century" for the film's closing scene.
