First Bordeaux purchase: Your budget recommendations

Meyney and Ormes de Pez. See Does Bordeaux provide the best QPR wines in the world right now? - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers

For Sauternes, compare a Barsac (definitely Chateau Climens) with a Sauternes (say Rieussec or Suduiraut). Very different animals. Climens is so elegant while the Sauternes tend to be rich and powerful. To keep the price down, get 1/2 bottles. With these, a little goes a long way.
