The 2019 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) has turned out beautifully in bottle. Wafting from the glass with aromas of wild blueberries, raspberries, violets, rose petals and forest floor, framed by a deft application of creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, with a lively core of fruit, bright acids and fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, precise, saline finish. It displays all the structural refinement and vibrancy of flavor that this sector of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau is capable of.

The 2019 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse, matured in 60% new oak, has maintained wonderful purity on the nose of ebullient red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, very elegant and poised and perhaps delivering less of the blue fruit element than I noticed from barrel. The cohesive palate conveys exquisite balance, fine, slightly granular tannins and a very subtle ferrous note toward the finish. This is an understated wine that is endowed with ample freshness, and I can see it aging beautifully for 30 or more years.
95 James Suckling
Blackberries and black chocolate with licorice and berry highlights. Flowers and crushed stones, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Plenty going on here. Very subtle and refined for this estate. Needs two or three years to come together. Try after 2024.

Producer
Château Beauséjour
The year of 1985 was a major turning point for this south Saint-Émilion estate, when Château Beauséjour elevated their level of quality becoming one of the more impressive producers amongst the Premier Grands Crus Classés. Following the property’s impressive turnaround, accomplished technical engineer, Pierre Bernault bought Château Beauséjour in 2004 – chasing his love of the wine world. With 12-hectares out of their overall 15 dedicated to Merlot and Cabernet Franc production, the Bernault family has continued to better their name as one of the greatest wine producers in Montagne Saint-Émilion. Consultants like, Stéphane Derenencourt, Michel Rolland and Nicolas Thienpont have only further influenced the château’s classical style, with notable medium to full body, opulence of black fruits and firm tannins that provides structure during cellaring time.
