Jammy fruit, light smoke on the nose. Raspberry, red fruit, refreshing acidity and tannins that soften into a light cigar paper finish. Medium length finish. — 7 years ago

The 2020 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is aged in around 60% new oak and made by Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt; Joséphine Duffau tweaked the blend when she took over in April of the following year. This was bottled at the end of May 2022. It has a perfumed nose, predominantly red fruit, sous-bois and a subtle Japanese nori scent. Quite "contained" at the moment, I can see this shutting down. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, dark cherries, bilberry and hints of black pepper and black olive (the latter is accentuated in the chateau bottle). Nicely balanced and persistent, this Saint-Émilion should age with class. Tasted twice with consistent notes. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2023) — 2 years ago

Absolutely gorgeous cremant, from the OG. Has all the things you want: nice small and persistent bubbles, super creamy and smooth mouthfeel. Simultaneously remains crisp and light. Apples, toast, and almonds are the most prominent characteristics. — 7 months ago
