Description

"Dark fruits, toasted spices, cocoa and cedar, following through a medium body with polished tannins and velvety texture. Flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
90 points. James Suckling, jameessuckling.com (December 2022)

An intense purple colour with ruby highlights, a delicate nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with notes of roasted mocha. Generous and dense, the fresh palate with racy tannins offers a long, balanced structure with notes of black fruits and a hint of liquorice.

Pair with red meat, cheese and bean stews.

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.
