Silky, smooth Bordeaux … Love it  — 10 months ago
At age 9, this shows remarkably young. Aromatic and refreshing on the nose, with lime, Asian pear, shishito pepper, and fresh cut grass - no tropical fruits I usually associate with Kiwi SB. Flavors echo the nose. Sharp acidity with round edge. Light salty minerals on the long finish.

The palate was insane, assaulting your mouth with citrus , orchard fruits and a waxy honey note. Endless acid and a very persistent finish. — a year ago

2020 vintage. 75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. Owned by the Despagne family since 1812, and the current 7th generation (François Despagne) seems to be serious about quality. This 2020 displays impressive aromatics, concentration, depth, and precision, with fresh acidity balancing the 15% abv. — 19 days ago
