Wine Critic Reviews
The 2022 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) saw a slightly longer élevage than usual, due to construction at the new winery, but that seems to have suited this broad-shouldered, powerful vintage very well. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of blackberries, blood orange, espresso roast, bay leaf and vanilla pod, it's full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with lively acids, chalky tannins and a long, creamy finish. This blend of 69% Merlot and 31% Cabernet Franc is the second vintage made by Joséphine Duffau Lagarrosse since she took control of the family estate in April 2021.

The 2022 Croix de Beauséjour is a delightful second wine. Aromatic and light on its feet, this mid-weight Saint-Émilion is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, spice and new leather add layers of understated nuance. It's all class and refinement here.
