04: Tiefes Granat mit lila Schimmer. Frisches, leicht florales Bouquet; Rosennote, Waldbeeren. Sehr feine Textur, bleibt eher rotbeerig, mittlerer Körperbau, Johannisbeeren im Finale, wirkt sehr dicht, es fehlt ihm vielleicht etwas die Süsse, um zu den ganz Grossen vorzustossen. 17/20 2008 – 2018

This is an extraordinary terroir (17 acres on a clay and limestone plateau) planted with 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. I would love to see a repetition of the profound as well as monumental 1990. The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003 reveals an evolved, precocious bouquet displaying this cuvee?s tell-tale minerality interwoven with black cherries and raspberries, medium body, and an elegant finish. More weight and concentration would have resulted in a higher rating. The finished natural alcohol was 13.5%. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.

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.
