“ A rich, indulgent wine with aromas of ripe fruit. The tannins from the oak add density and structure on the palate and enrich it with spicy notes and exotic accents. Decanting is recommended if you wish to enjoy this wine while it is still young.” (Hachette Guide, 2021 Edition)

A rich, indulgent wine with aromas of ripe fruit. The tannins from the oak add density and structure on the palate and enrich it with spicy notes and exotic undertones. Decanting is recommended if you wish to enjoy this wine while it’s still young.

A former fortified estate redesigned in the 19th century, overlooking a vast, contiguous 100-hectare vineyard acquired in 1998 by the Despagne family (Rauzan Despagne, Bel Air Perponcher, Tour de Mirambeau, Lion Beaulieu). A consistently high-quality wine that has enjoyed a strong reputation in China ever since it was compared to a Freddie Mercury concert in the famous manga *The Drops of God*.
