Description
Recognized as a Premier Grand Cru Classé from the origins of the Saint-Emilion Classification, Chateau Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse heirs has belonged to the family since 1847. For seven generations, the Duffau-Lagarrosse heirs have striven to sustain this vineyard, a seven-hectare jewel, ingrained on the slope, offering itself to the wind and the sun to conserve its renown.
They count on an experienced team to conduct the necessary evolutions and elevate the wines of Chateau Beauséjour to the highest level. It is in this spirit that they asked Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt to accompany them beginning with the 2009 vintage.
Tasting Notes
“The 2014 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) was an intriguing and quite mercurial Saint Emilion when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle, it has developed a quite compelling bouquet, very pure with black cherries, iodine, potpourri and crushed violets. The intensity is very impressive. The palate is medium-bodied with almost rigid tannin. This is a masculine wine, perhaps one that has closed down after bottle since it was so expressive from barrel. Certainly I would not broach this for a few years.”
