Elaboration

This French wine is the result of the inspiration of François Despagne, the owner of Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, who was attracted by a special place, where the vineyards dominated the Saint-Philippe d'Aiguilhe plateau. After examining the area, he and his wife, Murielle, decided to dedicate themselves to winemaking in the name of Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux, convinced of the potential of the terroir. The wines of Château Ampélia have a unique freshness and mineral character, resulting from the calcareous soils of Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux. They are wines with good storage potential, but very attractive for those who do not want to wait for aging in glass.

Taster´s notes

Bright and bright ruby color. The nose gives off aromas of red fruits - cherries and strawberries - and black fruits - blackcurrants and blackberries. In the mouth we discover a beautiful texture in which the tannins are harmonious. A decantation of at least 3 hours will be beneficial to round out the sensations in the palate. We recommend pairing the wine with a juicy steak or lamb chops with fried garlic cream. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC.

The Winery

Château Ampélia is the result of the search for a new challenge by François Despagne, owner of Château Grand Corbin-Despagne. François Despagne comes from a Saint-Emilion family whose beginnings in the world of wine date back to the early 17th century. After inheriting the Grand Corbin-Despagne estate in 1996, becoming the seventh generation of his family to run this property, he enthusiastically sought a new challenge.
