2016 Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

2016 Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

A fine tuned and refined Beausejour with a wonderfully mineral core. Detailed notes of violets, graphite, and wild cherry fruit are framed with sinewy, fine grained tannin. Impressive and real intensity here on the palate there is some patience required here.

Tasting notes

Very rich and edgy. Vegy edge. Massively ripe in the middle but not too ripe or sweet. Pretty dramatic. Dry end. Obviously classy stuff from a great terroir.

Is this the twin brother of the amazing 2015? We will see. What a superb density and richness with bright and intense tannins that are buttressed with fresh acidity. Beautiful finish.
