Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse 2012

The Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is synonymous with the continuity and durability of know-how within the Saint-Emilion vineyards. Its history dates back to 1847, when it was acquired by the Duffau-Lagarrosse family. 

Today, JosépHine Duffaut-Lagarrosse is the 8th generation at the helm, associated with the Courtin-Clarins family since 2021, enabling it to maintain its great reputation, reconciling tradition, technical progress and modernity. Nicolas Thienpont and oenologist Stéphane Derenonocourt advise them in this ever more precise approach to quality. 

The Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse has been a Premier Grand Cru Classé since the creation of the Saint-Emilion classification in 1955, a position it has always maintained.

The Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse watches over a vineyard of just under 7 hectares of vines, planted on the slopes of the village of Saint-Emilion on clay-limestone soils. This is an ideal geographical location, where wind and sunshine make for an extremely high-quality terroir. The grape varieties are 81% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are aged for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, 55 to 60% of which are new.

The Château Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse produces a sublime nectar, structured, elegant and with great aromatic finesse.
