"A truly beautiful, refined, and vigorous white wine. Fruity and spicy nose with hints of lilac and hawthorn, full-bodied and enveloping on the palate with a beautiful texture, fruitiness, and plenty of freshness on the finish." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2019)

Rated estate (2019 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
A truly beautiful, refined and vigorous white wine. Fruity and spicy nose with hints of lilac and hawthorn, full-bodied and enveloping on the palate with a beautiful texture, fruitiness and plenty of freshness on the finish.
About the estate:
The Despagne family owns five estates and 300 hectares of vineyards planted with traditional Bordeaux grape varieties. The Despagnes' seriousness, inventiveness, and skill mean that all their wines, particularly those from their flagship properties, Tour de Mirambeau and Rauzan Despagne, could serve as a model for many Bordeaux wines: always flattering but never straying far from Bordeaux classicism. Here, the wines are always very harmonious.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2018 guide) 88-90/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
The 2017 Tour de Mirambeau white wine is fragrant with golden apple, buttery Bosc pear, lemon cream, and a touch of white pepper. Rich in fruit with apple compote and poached pears on the palate, it has good freshness and toasted notes on the long finish.
Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (2017 guide) 90/100
About wine:
A slight toasted touch adds extra richness to this wine. It offers spices as well as intense crisp notes of green fruit and citrus. The two elements balance each other and will allow this wine to age well.
