James Suckling: 97-98 Points
A beautiful and enticing red with blackberry hazelnut dried flower spice and berry character. It?s full yet poised with finesse and richness while also being bright and energetic. Precise.

The 2022 Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) looks to be another brilliant wine from this incredible terroir located just outside the village of Saint-Emilion. Based on 69% Merlot and 31% Cabernet Franc resting in 68% new oak it sports a dense purple hue as well as a floral intense bouquet of cassis liquid violets black cherries truffly earth and graphite. Hitting 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.5 it's full-bodied and has a pure layered opulent mouthfeel and just about perfect tannins. There's a little bit more clay in the soils at this estate (there's still plenty of limestone) which gives the wines plenty of power and richness and the 2022 holds onto a beautiful sense of elegance.

The 2022 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse was picked on 6-9 September for the Merlot and 23 for the Cabernet Franc representing the highest percentage to date. It was cropped at 42hL/ha with 14.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.5. Aged in 68% new oak it has a delicate nose that completely disguises that summer's warmth. Precise redcurrant and raspberry fruit aromas are laced with minerals. The limestone soils percolate and evince the estate's style under Joséphine Duffau Lagarrosse. It seems to deepen to "stretch out" with aeration manifesting more darker fruit. The palate is medium-bodied mineral-driven and almost pastille-like in terms of purity with its mélange of red and blue fruit and granular texture. Background notes of tobacco and black truffle begin to surface with time. There's just a trace of white pepper on the finish. Precise focused and with plenty of substance this is a characterful and intellectually satisfying Duffau. Most importantly not only will it be flippin' delicious but you get the sense that Joséphine is only just getting started.
