2024 Chateau Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse

Tasting notes:

Matured for up to 18 months in oak barrel (70% new). Pure aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and wild strawberry with notes of crushed roses, leather and espresso. Opulent on the palate with a silky texture and grippy tannins. It will fully reveal itself within 10 years and keep for at least two decades.

Producer description:

Ch Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse is amongst the best St Emilion. Once part of a larger estate which included Château Beau-Séjour Bécot, this property has always enjoyed the Premier Grand Cru Classé B status. Since under the recent ownership of the Duffau-Lagarrosse family, the wines are less extracted, but still rich and intense. A style that works as the 2022 received the coveted 100 points from Jane Anson.
