Aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, black olive, oyster shell and black tea. Some ash and dried flowers, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Sleek and compact with a savory, mineral finish. Great length and depth. Wonderful texture. Such precision. Try from 2026.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Beausejour Heritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse comes prancing out of the glass with the most gorgeous perfume of plum preserves, kirsch, redcurrant jelly and red roses, followed by suggestions of molten licorice, raspberry leaves, oolong tea and iron ore, with a waft of forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with black and red berry preserves layers, framed by fantastically plush tannins and a seamless backbone, finishing long and earthy. A wine of impeccable poise and polish, it is delicious now, but allow it 3-4 years in bottle to really fan its feathers and drink it over the next 20 years or more.

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.
