"Beyond the aromas of ripe plum and black cherry that burst forth from this Merlot-dominated blend, there is an additional layer of nuance that sets it apart from many other wines tasted blind in the Bordeaux AOC category. The palate is well-structured with ripe tannins and a velvety finish." (Decanter Magazine)

Rated estate (2019 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 classic Bordeaux style. Here, the wines are always very harmonious.
