" A delicious wine with aromas of ripe fruit. The tannins from the wood bring density and structure on the palate and enrich it with spicy notes and exotic accents. Decanting is recommended if you want to enjoy this wine in its youth." (Guide Hachette 2021 edition)

The Despagne family owns five properties and 300 hectares of vineyards planted with traditional Bordeaux grape varieties. The Despagnes' dedication, inventiveness, and expertise mean that all their wines, particularly those from their flagship properties, Tour de Mirambeau and Rauzan Despagne, could serve as a model for many Bordeaux wines: always flattering but never straying far from classic Bordeaux style.

A former market town redesigned in the 19th century, commanding a vast 100-hectare vineyard acquired in 1998 by the Despagne family (Rauzan Despagne, Bel Air Perponcher, Tour de Mirambeau, Lion Beaulieu).
