A small artisanal domain revealing the profound finesse of Pomerol


Founded in 1993 by the Despagne-Rapin family and taken over in 2008 by François Despagne, the seventh generation of the clan, Château Le Chemin spans approximately 1 hectare of fine gravel; a small single-plot vineyard of Merlot, in the heart of the great terroirs of Pomerol. François has crafted a delicate, precise, and distinguished style, with manual harvesting, parcel-based vinification (pump-overs, rack and return, punching down), and aging in new barrels, for a silky and saline wine with ripe tannins.



Terroir & grape variety




  • Soil: fine gravel, optimal drainage, privileged location near L’Église-Clinet




  • Grape variety: 100% Merlot single-variety, vinified and aged in new barrels





Philosophy & practices




  • Organic, balanced viticulture with low yield




  • Precise vinification followed by parcel




  • Long aging of 18–21 months in new barrels, without filtration or additional compost





Flagship cuvée





  • Château Le Chemin: bright ruby color, nose of red and black fruits, mint, truffle, spices. On the palate, a dense, fresh, saline wine with ripe tannins, which reveals itself with patience. Great aging potential (2028–2048).
