Beyond the Label

Château L’Esparrou dates back to 1889, when the famous Danish architect Petersen built it for the fourth Grand Duke of Spain, the Duke of Igar. Today, the estate is owned by the renowned Bonfils family, who have crafted this luxurious red wine.

The Bonfils family have made world-class wines for 150 years. Their Cuvée Bisconte is a classic marriage of hand-harvested Grenache (60%), Syrah (20%), and Carignan (20%). The grapes grew in southern France’s Roussillon region, which benefits from sunny days and a warm Mediterranean climate that ripen fruit to perfection, along with cool sea breezes that help retain freshness.

Given that growing conditions were nearly perfect during the great 2017 vintage, it should come as no surprise that Château L’Esparrou boasts a Gilbert & Gaillard gold medal. Judges loved its “pleasant nose accented by dark fruits and spices with a touch of licorice.” We think you’ll be impressed with the quality too – especially if you serve it alongside roasted game meats or hearty stews.
