2019 Beausejour Heritiers Duffau-Lagarosse

86% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc

Recognized as a Premier Grand Cru Classé from the origins of the Saint-Emilion Classification, Chateau Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse heirs has belonged to the family since 1847. For seven generations, the Duffau-Lagarrosse heirs have striven to sustain this vineyard, a seven-hectare jewel, ingrained on the slope, offering itself to the wind and the sun to conserve its renown. They count on an experienced team to conduct the necessary evolutions and elevate the wines of Chateau Beauséjour to the highest level. It is in this spirit that they asked Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt to accompany them beginning with the 2009 vintage.

VINEGROWING PRACTICES
A combination of traditional vineyard labouring and grass seeding. A continual vineyard renewal program: grubbing-up, replantation, massal selected complantation with higher density. Numerous manual interventions: de-budding, leaf stripping, crop thining… A complete renovation of the trellising to augment the leaf canopy. Drainage on the entirety of the parcels of the property.
