Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarosse 2015 (Magnum)

Das Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarosse befindet sich im Herzen von Saint-Emilion. Als Premier Cru Classé besteht dieses wunderschöne, zusammenhängende 7 Hektaren grosse Weingut aus alten Merlot (80%) und Cabernet Rebstöcken. Die Vinifizierung wird nach Parzellen gemacht und der Fassausbau dauert 16 bis 18 Monate. Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse holt das Beste aus den Rebsorten heraus: die Grosszügigkeit des Merlots und die Struktur der Cabernets.

A dark, brooding wine, the 2015 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse may need twenty years to start drinking well. Today, the 2015 is imposing, with massive concentration and fabulous persistence, all supported by a vertical spine of tannin that is impossible to miss. Hints of graphite, smoke and licorice struggle to emerge from a huge wall of fruit and tannin. This is another wine that will require considerable patience. The 2015 is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, brought in between September 25 and October 12 and aged in 60% new oak.

This is extraordinary. There has never been a wine like this here since the famous 1990 or underrated 1989. Violets, flowers, stones and limestone. Oyster-shell undertones. Full-bodied, muscular and so structured. A phenomenal wine that reminds me of the great Bordeaux of the 1950s. Try in 2026. - JS 02/2018
