Description

The 2020 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) has developed beautifully. On the nose, aromas of wild blueberries, raspberries, violets, rose petals and forest floor emerge, framed by a refined creamy new oak. The wine is medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, bright acidity and fine, powdery tannins. The wine finishes with a long, precise and salty finish. It displays all the structural refinement and liveliness of flavour that the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion has to offer.

The 2019 vintage of Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) is the last to be vinified, blended and bottled by Nicolas Thienpont and his team, before Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse took over the domaine in mid-2021, and blended and bottled the 2020 vintage. The wine is beautifully developed. This is a 1.5 liter magnum. Even more delicious and with a longer drinking window.

About Château Beauséjour

Château Beauséjour was founded in the 19th century and has a long tradition in wine growing. The estate was bought in 1847 by Pierre-Paulin Ducarpe, who later left it to his nephew, Mr Duffau-Lagarrosse. Hence the double name Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse).

The estate is located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, a region renowned for its excellent wine-growing terroir. The estate overlooks the picturesque town of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Château Beauséjour covers approximately 6.5 hectares of vineyards. The vineyards are planted with classic Bordeaux grape varieties, mainly Merlot (approximately 81%), followed by Cabernet Franc (16%) and a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (3%). The vineyards are located on limestone and clay soils, which are ideal for producing powerful and complex wines. The unique terroir contributes to the minerality and depth of the wines.
