An estate of 7 hectares, Chateau Beausejour is enviably situated between Canon and Angelus on a limestone rock face. Formerly Beausejour Duffau (Lagarrosse), this property has made exceptional vintages previously with 1990 and 2009 both remembered as Bordeaux legends.
There are lofty ambitions to make Beausejour Saint Emilion’s next icon wine, under new owners Prisca Courtin & Josephine Duffau-Lagarrosse, now at the helm of her family’s property.
2021 was their first vintage, made with a new approach to winemaking, to obtain seamless tannins and the purest fruit expression from this limestone terroir.
Available in cases of 3.
“Joséphine Duffau Lagarrosse's third vintage at this terrific hillside terroir is her most impressive to date. The 2023 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) offers up aromas of black raspberries, mulberries, violets, spices and incense, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's seamless, suave and concentrated, with lively acids, beautiful purity of fruit and a long, mineral, gently balsamic finish.... Duffau Lagarrosse's work on oak selection (she favors Burgundy's cooperage Cadus, among others) has delivered much more seamless integration at this early stage, and her attentive approach to extraction is already bearing fruit in the form of tannins that are more polished and refined than was formerly the case at this address. It's a brilliant effort from a property with almost limitless potential.”
