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 full-bodied, the fresh palate with refined tannins 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 following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, the estate was acquired in 1990 by the Despagne family. This wine is produced on a clay-siliceous plateau overlooking the Dordogne River and is a must-try in the Bordeaux (all three colors), Bordeaux Supérieur, and Entre-deux-Mers categories.
