Despagne is a well-known wine producer established in Bordeaux, the northern part of the Entre-Deux-Mers, for more than 200 years. They are the passionate winegrowers huddled between 2 rivers, Garonne and Dordogne. The name of Entre-Deux-Mers, comes from the influence of the ocean which materializes by a wave : " the Mascaret".
Today the winery is run by Basaline Despagne and her winemaker brother, Thibault. It consists of 6 estates, around 300 hectares. 
One of the estates is Chateau Bel-Air Perponcher which was acquired by the family in 1990. The vines have been cultivated organically since 2008.

A whirlwind of elderflower, almond blossom and grassy freshness beams onto the wet stone minerality and delightful seam of subtle oak. Packed with personality and charm.

Caesar Salad, fried mussels, fresh goat cheese, white asparagus... also impressive on its own.
