Château Grand Corbin-Despagne

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

Great quality. Great achievement. Pure phenolic ripeness. A very well made and serious wine that can provide pleasure in the early stage but will age wonderfully 93+ — 6 months ago

Château Rauzan Despagne

No obvious signs of aging at 18 as its dark purple in the glass. Smooth tannins a medium finish with notes of dark fruits. Bought upon release and “forgotten”. A real gem. — 4 years ago

Château La Rose Figeac

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

1990 vintage. An under the radar Pomerol, bought in 1961 by the grandfather of current owner Nathalie Despagne. He also owned La Tour Figeac in Saint-Emilion and La Rose Figeac is just across the Saint-Emilion border. The 4,56 hectare vineyard consists of 9 parcels (all within 500 m of each other) on gravelly sandy soils and is planted with Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc. My bottle had a near-perfect level and as the smell was a bit musty upon opening, but there was still good fruit in the mouth and the colour looked very solid, I took the risk to decant it. It turned out to be a wise decision as the wine evolved positively, even if the tannins remained a bit rustic. On the other hand it still has lively fruit and freshness, it is a testimony to the ageing potential of Bordeaux wines and an attractive food wine. Abv. 12,8% . — 3 years ago
