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 between2 rivers, Garonne and Dordogne. The name of Entre-Deux-Mers, comes from the influenceof 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.
