value for the money
With its deep purple color and ruby highlights, this wine reveals a delicate nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with notes of roasted mocha. Generous and dense on the palate, with fresh, refined tannins, it offers a long, balanced structure with notes of toasted black fruits and licorice. Deliciously flavorful.

About the estate:

Formerly owned by the Perponcher family, who were forced to flee to Holland after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, it was acquired in 1990 by the Despagne estate. A wine produced on a clay-siliceous plateau overlooking the Dordogne River, it is a must-try in the Bordeaux (all three colors), Bordeaux Supérieur, and Entre-deux-Mers categories.
