Château Beauséjour
Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) is one of Saint-Émilion’s most historically revered estates, renowned for producing wines of exceptional finesse, balance, and longevity. Its reputation was firmly established with the legendary 1990 vintage, today widely regarded as one of the great mature wines of Saint-Émilion and a benchmark for classical Right Bank Bordeaux.
Situated on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, the vineyard benefits from exceptional soils and natural drainage, ideal for producing wines of depth without excess. Planted predominantly to Merlot, with Cabernet Franc in supporting roles, the estate favours low yields and precise vineyard work to express terroir with clarity.
The wines are defined by restrained extraction, refined tannins, and a natural freshness that allows them to evolve gracefully over decades. Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) represents Saint-Émilion in its most authentic form — composed, intellectual, and built for time.
A Historic Estate, A New Generation
Today, the estate is managed and run by Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse, who continues the family’s long-standing commitment to elegance, balance, and terroir-first winemaking. Under her stewardship, the château remains resolutely classical in philosophy while applying modern precision in both vineyard and cellar.
The guiding principle remains unchanged: wines should reflect place and vintage, not fashion.
A Proven Record of Longevity
The continued reverence for the 1990 Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) underscores the estate’s pedigree. Decades on, the wine remains a reference point for mature Saint-Émilion — layered, harmonious, and remarkably alive.
This proven ageing ability is not an anomaly but a hallmark of the estate, informing the structure and intent of its contemporary releases.
