Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2019 Doppelmagnum in 1er Holzkiste

Vinum: Superbe, komplexe Aromatik von Beeren und Gewürzen; voller Ansatz, grosse Rasse, Frische trotz der Fülle, mundfüllendes Tannin mit exquisitem Schliff, ewige Länge; lässt sprachlos. Einer der Topbuys des Jahres. (19/20, 2022)

Parker: The 2019 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) has turned out beautifully in bottle. Wafting from the glass with aromas of wild blueberries, raspberries, violets, rose petals and forest floor, framed by a deft application of creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, with a lively core of fruit, bright acids and fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, precise, saline finish. It displays all the structural refinement and vibrancy of flavor that this sector of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau is capable of. (96/100, 2022)

Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Attraktives dunkles Beerenkonfit, Nuancen von Lakritze, florale Noten, zart mineralisch, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, feines Bukett. Saftig, elegant, reife Kirschen, voller Energie und Frische, feine Tannine, salzige Mineralität, zitroniger Touch im Finish, delikter Stil mit enormer Länge, sicheres Zukunftspotenzial. (99/100, 2020)

James Suckling: Blackberries and black chocolate with licorice and berry highlights. Flowers and crushed stones, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Plenty going on here. Very subtle and refined for this estate. Needs two or three years to come together. Try after 2024. (95/100, 2022)
