Hachette

"Silver highlights shimmer in this remarkably balanced wine. It offers a bouquet of exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango, and kiwi) and citrus. With just the right amount of liveliness, suppleness, and richness, the balance is truly exceptional. And the aromas linger long on the finish. (Le Guide des Vins Hachette 2020)"

About the wine:

Silver highlights shimmer in this remarkably balanced wine. It offers a bouquet of exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango, and kiwi) and citrus. With just the right amount of liveliness, suppleness, and richness, the balance is truly exceptional. And the aromas linger on the finish.

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. A vineyard situated on a clay-siliceous plateau overlooking the Dordogne River, it is a must-try in Bordeaux (in all three styles), Bordeaux Supérieur, and Entre-deux-Mers.
