"Beyond the ripe plum and black cherry aromas that exude from this Merlot-dominant blend, there's an extra dimension of nuance here that sets it apart from many other wines blind-tasted in the Bordeaux AOC category. The palate is well structured, with ripe tannins and a velvety finish". (Decanter Magazine)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
The Despagne family has five estates and 300 hectares of vines, planted with traditional Bordeaux grape varieties. The seriousness, inventiveness and skill of the Despagne family mean that all their wines, and especially those from their flagship estates, Tour de Mirambeau and Rauzan Despagne, could serve as models for many a Bordeaux: always flattering, but never far from Bordeaux classicism. Here, the wines are always very harmonious.
