Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting. The 2012 Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse has a dense, slightly broody but well-defined bouquet with scents of blackberry, cedar and tobacco, lending it a Left Bank-like personality. In fact, I found this reminiscent of (modern) Château Figeac!
The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, structured and a little masculine, but don't worry, there is sufficient fruit here to please any Saint Emilion lover. The finish is harmonious and refined. A bright future lies ahead. Tasted January 2016.

The Château Beausejour has belonged to the Duffau-Lagarrosse family since 1847. For seven generations, the Duffau-Lagarrosse heirs have striven to sustain this vineyard, a jewel ingrained on the slope, offering itself to the wind and the sun, to conserve its renown.

The eighth-generation is in stride and the Duffau-Lagarrosse heirs have conferred the management of the family estate to two of its members, Christophe Redaud and Vincent Duffau-Lagarrosse. Their mission: perpetuate the values of Château Beausejour.
