Description
For me Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse is one of the absolutely outstanding wines of the vintage on the Right Bank. The big challenge in St Emilion was to retain freshness in the face of the high alcohol and high tannins, and this is a resounding success. Nicolas Thienpont, cousin of Alexander and Jacques of Vieux Château Certan and Le Pin fame, holds the reins here and the family talent is much in evidence.
Sumptuously rich on the bouquet and palate with flavours of dark chocolate, plum and berry fruits, the finish is beautifully fresh with excellent balancing acidity, and has a real sense of minerality and great persistence.
(73% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon)
