Description

"The 2020 Naujan Despagne skips out of the glass with bright, cheery notes of fresh pears and white peaches, plus suggestions of sea spray, mandarin peel and allspice with a waft of ginger. The medium-bodied palate is racy and pure, featuring focused stone fruit and citrus layers and a long zesty finish. Drink to 2028."
90-92 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (May 2021)

A brilliant golden-lemon colour, a delicate, fragrant nose with notes of citron and fresh hazelnut. A racy and lively palate, mineral and voluptuous with citrus which covers a long, zesty frame of pink grapefruit. Concludes with stony, refreshing sapidity.

Pair with smoked fish, poultry or a nut roast.

Despagne

Vignobles Despagne, rooted in Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers for over 200 years, is a family estate built around five historic châteaux. Known for its sustainable approach and innovative winemaking, the estate thrives on unique limestone terroirs between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. Their wines—dry or sweet, red or white—highlight fruit, balance, and character. Passed down through generations, often by women, the Despagne legacy continues to excite the senses and celebrate the rhythm of ocean-influenced viticulture.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
