"Gourmand à souhait

"Another fine series of Bordeaux from Maison Despagne, with impeccable consistency in quality. At the top of the bill, this gourmet Bel Air Perponcher, whose aromatic expression is immediately seductive: blackberry, blackcurrant, violet, spicy and toasty scents. These aromas are intensely prolonged by a full, suave, tender palate, supported by velvety tannins and a fine acidity that gives it tone. Already delicious, this Bordeaux will age well.

quality-price

In its intense purple color with ruby highlights, the wine reveals a delicate nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with hints of roasted mocha. Generous and dense, the fresh palate with its racy tannins offers a long, well-balanced structure of toasted and licorice notes. Tasty as can be.

2*Coup de Coeur Hachette

"Silver highlights shine through in this remarkably well-balanced wine. It delivers a basket of exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango and kiwi) and citrus. Just the right amount of liveliness, suppleness and fatness: the balance is real. And the aromas find a long echo on the finish. (Le Guide des Vins Hachette 2020)
