"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)

About the wine:
Silver reflections shine through 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.
About the domain :
Former property of the Perponcher family, who had to flee to Holland after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, acquired in 1990 by the Despagne house. A cru situated on a siliceous-clay plateau overlooking the Dordogne, a must for Bordeaux (in all 3 colors), Bordeaux Supérieur and Entre-deux-Mers.

Note and review by M. OLIVIER O. Published on 02/01/2020
Very nice entre-d'eux-mers, with more fruit (exotic fruit) and sweetness than acidity, as is often the case with this type of wine. Well-balanced, delicious: a discovery.

Drunk in November and December 2019. Same finding: technical wine with no personality and no flaws. Lack of liveliness for a "entre deux mers", coup de coeur ????
