For over 200 years, the Despagne family of Bordeaux continues a family tradition turned towards excellence in the heart of the Entre Deux Mers, gaining a place among the greatest wines through innovative know-how, both in terms of its terroirs and of winemaking.
Located between the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers, Entre-Deux-Mers (“between two seas”) is the largest sub-district within Bordeaux. It is a very attractive area featuring a succession of slopes, plateau and valleys with mainly clay-limestone soil, a fine terroir producing some of the best-valued wines on the market.
Under the genius hands of Joel Elissalde, winemaker and longtime partner of the Despagne family, born Chateau Lion Beaulieu which vines thrive in consideration of environmentally conscious aspects. The interplay between a traditional yet modern winemaking family, a top terroir, and an excellent winemaker makes this an extraordinary yet accessible Bordeaux wine that should not be overlooked.
