1998 | Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse | Saint-Emilion

This dark ruby/purple-colored, mid-weight, restrained, graceful effort reveals aromas and flavors of minerals, blueberries, and flowers, not dissimilar from some of Burgundy's grand cru Vosne-Romanees. Nicely-textured, soft, with adequate tannin to frame its medium-bodied style.

Producer Information

Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is a Saint-Emilion wine estate classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé B in the Right Bank Bordeaux region. It makes red wine mostly from Merlot, typical of the style of Saint-Émilion and Right Bank Bordeaux producers.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 appears in the estate's full name: Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse (literally "Château Beauséjour Heirs of Duffau-Lagarrosse"). It has since been passed down through nine generations and remains in the family.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 Courtin-Clarins family, best-known for their beauty product company, Clarins.
