2022 Berry Bros. & Rudd Good Ordinary Claret by Dourthe, Bordeaux

Good Ordinary Claret is our flagship red Bordeaux, crafted in partnership with Dourthe using fruit from some of the region’s finest terroirs. Since its creation in the 1970s, it has become the top seller in our range and a firm favourite of ours. When asked to explain the name “Good Ordinary Claret”, our former Chairman Christopher Berry Green once said: “It was Claret, it was good, and it was ordinary.”

The instantly recognisable label features a monochrome etching of No.3 St James’s Street, our home since 1698. Additionally, the bottle is capsule-free, which helps to reduce packaging waste.

Chef Michel Roux – on our Drinking Well podcast – is a fan of Good Ordinary Claret, describing this wine as “definitely better than good and it's not ordinary”.

Pair with barbecued meats, hearty pasta dishes and pizza.
