GIROLATE Rouge: A Silky, Powerful Bordeaux of Pedigree

GIROLATE, the prestigious cuvée from Vignobles Despagne, is an exceptional 100% Merlot that proves the outstanding potential of the Entre-Deux-Mers terroir. Grown on a privileged clay-limestone plot and made with meticulous, ‘Grand Cru’ attention, this wine offers a sophisticated balance of power, elegance, and silky finesse that stands out in the Bordeaux landscape.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Colour: A dense, deep garnet hue, with violet reflections when young.
• Nose: Fresh and intense, revealing a concentrated core of red fruits (cherry) and cassis, seamlessly integrated with hints of fine oak and licorice.
• Palate: The entry is smooth and velvety. The wine develops with controlled power and remarkable richness. The tannins are beautifully fine and polished, providing a luxurious, silky mouthfeel and a long, distinguished finish.

Food Matching & Serving

Decant for 30 minutes and serve at 15°C (59°F). A magnificent accompaniment to classic British and European roasts.
