2017 Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

2017 Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

Shy and a touch restrained, opening up in the glass and across the palate. This is a fine example of the classic style of the vintage.

Tasting notes

Very dark. Ripe, dark black plums and just a touch of red cherry. Then quite oaky on the palate, rich, firm, smooth, with chocolate on the finish from the oak. Needs quite a bit of time. Chewy on the second taste. No lack of fruit but the structure dominates at the moment.

This is very driven and intense with so much limestone and salt character on the palate. Dark fruits, too. Linear and chewy, especially on the long finish. Beautiful center palate of fruit.
