2017 Château Beausejour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse

Deep garnet purple in colour, the 2017 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) is slightly closed and reveals hints of bright, cheerful black cherries, blackcurrants and wild blueberries, with very serious notes of preserved plums, licorice and mocha in the background, and a touch of fragrant earth. Medium to full bodied, with a firm structure of ripe tannins and seamless freshness supporting the subdued, earthy layers, ending in a long and mineral finish. This wine has excellent aging potential but will need time to fully enjoy it!

About Château Beauséjour

Château Beauséjour was founded in the 19th century and has a long tradition in wine growing. The winery was purchased in 1847 by Pierre-Paulin Ducarpe, who later left it to his cousin, Mr. Duffau-Lagarrosse. Hence the double name Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse).
Location: The winery is located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, a region known for its excellent wine-growing terroir. The winery 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 the production of powerful and complex wines. The unique terroir contributes to the minerality and depth of the wines.
