It is labelled with the shorthand \"Beauséjour J D-L\" and previously had the full name Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarosse. Beauséjour has 6.75 hectares (16.5 acres) under vine. Typical of many of Saint-Émilion and Right Bank Bordeaux producers, the property is planted predominantly to Merlot, with a lesser portion of Cabernet Franc. The estate had a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon but this has since been grafted with Cabernet Franc. In the wine trade, it is often referred to as \"Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse\" or even simply \"Château Beauséjour\" although an estate of this name exists in Montagne-Saint-Emilion, and the shorter title could also be confused with Beau-Séjour Bécot. The estate and wine has also been dubbed \"Beauséjour HDL\", and now \"Beauséjour J D-L\". See below for recent ownership changes. The property had been a larger single estate until 1869 when it was divided between the two children of its original owner, Pierre-Paulin Ducarpe. The château and half the vineyards were inherited by his daughter, who married into the Duffau-Lagarrosse family. The other half of the property went to Ducarpe's son and has become the modern estate Château Beau-Séjour Bécot. Pierre-Paulin Ducarpe's daughter took her husband's name, which now appeared in the estate's full name: Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse (literally \"Château Beauséjour Heirs of Duffau-Lagarrosse\"). It then passed down through nine generations. In early 2021, however, following a labyrinthine ownership saga – including potential takeovers by neighboring château owners – the running of the estate remained in the hands of the Duffau-Lagarrosse family through Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse. Ownership, however, passed to the Courtin-Clarins family, best-known for their beauty product company, Clarins. Although the estate did not figure in the original 1955 classification (its namesake, Château Beauséjour-Fagouet – which became Beau-Séjour Bécot in 1969 – was named a Premier Cru Classé B), it was ranked Premier Cru Classé B in the subsequent, 1969, iteration – a status the château has retained since. Beauséjour's reputation further grew in the 1990s, when American critic Robert Parker gave the 1990 vintage a perfect 100 points. In 2009, Nicolas Thienpont from Château Pavie Macquin was hired to modernize Château Beauséjour, along with famous consultants Michel Rolland and Stéphane Derenoncourt. Changes brought on by the trio, including fermentation of whole grapes and punching down in open fermentation tanks, began with the 2009 vintage. The 2009 and 2010 vintages went on to score 100 points each from Parker. A second wine called Croix de Beauséjour is made in conjunction with the grand vin.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-04T15:51:15-04:00","created_at":"2024-04-01T12:17:39-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Beauséjour","Region_Bordeaux","RK300324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":359999,"price_min":359999,"price_max":359999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44584341995658,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1990 | Château Beauséjour | Duffau-Lagarrosse","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":359999,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/32_923c2351-7b92-4ad6-a0c7-304655772a23.png?v=1711988344"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/32_923c2351-7b92-4ad6-a0c7-304655772a23.png?v=1711988344","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1990 | Château Beauséjour | Duffau-Lagarrosse at CaskCartel.com","id":26607690023050,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.286,"height":483,"width":138,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/32_923c2351-7b92-4ad6-a0c7-304655772a23.png?v=1711988344"},"aspect_ratio":0.286,"height":483,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/32_923c2351-7b92-4ad6-a0c7-304655772a23.png?v=1711988344","width":138}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRed\u003c\/span\u003e Wine: 1990 | Château Beauséjour | Duffau-Lagarrosse\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpulent, lush, flamboyant, showing and rich, from start to finish this had it all going on.
