Chateau Lezongars, situated in the Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux region, is owned by British couple Philip and Sarah Iles who bought the chateau in 1998 after years of running wine bars in London. The Bordeaux Cotes are home to some of the region’s best value wines; bottles that make up for the lack of a glamorous name on the label with honest, high-quality juice at a pocket-friendly price.
