Note di degustazione
Medium-bodied, fresh, sweet, and fruity, with a core of light, red berries on the palate, and finish. This is perfect for early drinking pleasure while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. Drink from 2025-2032.

The 2022 Croix De Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) is based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc brought up in 50% new French oak. It’s a juicy, lively, elegant second wine that has lovely cherry and darker fruits as well as some lively floral and herbal nuances. This medium-bodied, nicely balanced 2022 has integrated acidity and a great finish. Drink bottles over the coming 10-12 years.
The 2022 Croix de Beauséjour, which saw 20% new oak, has a light, very subtle pine-tinged bouquet that needs time to open in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with blueberry and vanillary notes, a slightly granular texture and a sweet core of fruit. There is plenty of sucrosity on the finish, though tasting it a few weeks later, it had tightened up nicely with a more peppery finish. Therefore, give it two or three years in bottle. Tasted twice.
Pie crust, warm spices, dense and glossy plums and berries, and touches of dark chocolate and chalk on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, with fine, dusty tannins and a lengthy finish. Drink from 2027.
