Note di degustazione
Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse has produced a stunning 2023. It’s a wine that sings of its terroir, seamlessly ripe and intense with a lifted nose. Like sinking your nose into a gorgeous bouquet of peonies and violets, on a bed of vivid red and black berry fruit. It’s juicy and vibrant with a mineral, saline freshness that drives the palate. Medium-bodied with effortless weight, feather-light and fine-boned tannins that are layered to give it lovely structure. Long and seamless. Outstanding. Aged in 60% new oak, with 3.4pH and 14% alcohol. Blend: 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc

A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, matured predominantly in Taransaud and Cadus barrels, the 2023 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) has turned out brilliantly. It reveals a complex, fresh and compelling bouquet of spices, fresh licorice, violet, dark berries and incense. Medium- to full-bodied, concentrated and sapid, it is seamless and built around a fleshy core of fruit framed by powdery, velvety tannins that extend into a lead-pencil-inflected finish. Fully in line with expectations, this is a bottle that merits cellaring to allow the full potential of this remarkable terroir to unfold.
Josephine's third vintage since arriving here, the 2023 Château Beausejour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) sports a deep ruby hue as well as a gorgeous nose of ripe black raspberries, cassis, smoky tobacco, crushed stone-like limestone, and floral nuances. It's medium to full-bodied and has a seamless, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It's an ultra-classic Beausejour that readers will love to have in the cellar. It already offers pleasure yet will keep for 30+ years if you're so inclined. It's just a complete, layered, absolutely classy wine. I'll be a buyer. Drink 2026-2056.
The 2023 Beauséjour J. Duffau-Lagarrosse is exceptionally beautiful. Silky on the palate, the 2023 is all class. Bright red-toned fruit, rose petal, cedar and delicate spice overtones are all deftly woven together. Polished tannins extend the resonant, utterly exquisite finish. This is such a fine example of the house style under the direction of Josephine Duffau-Lagarrosse.
