“A wonderfully fruity flavor!”
“A beautifully fruity wine with notes of lime, grapefruit, and white pepper. It is delicious, juicy, balanced, and refreshing. The finish is fruity, briny, and lingering, perfectly supported and extended by a noble bitterness. A real success! ” (Yves Beck 2022)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2016 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
The Despagne family owns five estates and 300 hectares of vineyards planted with traditional Bordeaux grape varieties. The Despagnes’ dedication, creativity, and expertise ensure that all their wines—particularly those from their flagship estates, Tour de Mirambeau and Rauzan Despagne—could serve as a model for many Bordeaux wines: always appealing yet never straying far from the classic Bordeaux style.
Decanter
Wine rated (2022 guide) 88/100
About the wine:
Bright and lively in the glass, with hints of lemon and lime zest and a tangy sorbet-like fruitiness that adds a burst of intensity. Apricot and pineapple are also present—tangy, sweet, and ripe. There’s a lot going on here, but it’s well-balanced and easy to enjoy and drink. 2022–2029
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2016 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
A former fortified estate renovated in the 19th century, which overlooks 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*.
Vinous
Wine rated (2022 guide) 90-92/100
About the wine:
The 2021 Blanc has a well-defined bouquet with a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is well-balanced with lively acidity and fairly sharp, tart lemon notes, yet it maintains superb balance and confidence all the way through the finish. 2024–2030
Le Figaro vins
Wine rated (2022 guide) 89/100
About the wine:
Although it seems particularly shy at first, this Sauvignon Blanc is not shy about revealing a facet of its personality—albeit in moderation. On the palate, the texture is still a bit harsh, with pronounced acidity, citrus notes, and a slightly chalky quality. Let’s wait for it to mellow. 2024–2030
