Really great — a year ago
Pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, tropical and white flesh fruit. On the palate flavors of pear and apple flavors with lemon citrus zest and grassy notes on a balanced structure with lively acidity. Pleasant medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb citrus and mineral character. Drink now no aging benefit. — 2 months ago
2020 vintage. The last vintage for this wine as it was bought from the Bécot family ( owners of Beauséjour-Bécot) by the owners of Haut-Brion in 2021. It will be incorporated into Château Quintus (which is a merger of 3 estates: Tertre-Daugay, L'Arrosée and Grand-Pontet). Many Saint-Emilion estates disappeared, incorporated into other estates, some very good wines sadly disappeared like Curé Bon La Madeleine (now into Canon), Cadet-Piola (now into Soutard) and so on. The fact that Grand Cru Classés can legally be incorporated into Premier Grands Crus Classés tells you that you have to take the classification with more than a grain of salt. A bit shy on the nose, even after a few hours. Medium-bodied, nice value for a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé. — 2 years ago
Château beauséjour, fronsac 2016, cuvée Prestige, 100% merlot
Cherry, black currant, toast, tar, oak. The palate is well made, with a roundness to it, some savory notes, a very soft mouthfeel, almost velvety, some carressing tanins in the rear, a real nice fruity, savory finish that lasts for a long time. Great stuff! — a year ago
Fantastic. A great example of French bx. Great balance. — 3 years ago
