Jeb Dunnuck 100 points www.jebdunnuck.com 29.03.2023 The 2020 Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse), made mostly by the team of Nicolas Thienpont (the final blend was put together by Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse), is another tour de force from this incredible terroir, and undeniably one of the wines of the vintage. Based on 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc brought up in 70% new French oak, it offers a sensationally pure bouquet of black raspberries, blueberries, scorched earth, graphite, and a dense, smoky, floral character that emerges with time in the glass. With a voluptuous, layered mouthfeel, gorgeous mid-palate depth, building tannins, and a liqueur of mineral-like character on the finish, it shows the density, purity, precision, and vibrancy of this vintage perfectly and displays that rare mix of richness, intensity, elegance, and length that are the hallmarks of a truly great wine. This is unquestionably in the ranks of the 2009, 2010, and 2016 and will evolve for 40 years or more.
Le Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) 2020, élaboré en grande partie par l’équipe de Nicolas Thienpont (l’assemblage final a été réalisé par Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse), est un autre tour de force de ce terroir incroyable, et indéniablement l’un des vins du millésime. Composé à 81 % de merlot et à 19 % de cabernet franc élevés dans 70 % de chêne français neuf, il offre un bouquet d’une pureté sensationnelle de framboises noires, de myrtilles, de terre brûlée et de graphite, ainsi qu’un caractère floral dense et fumé qui émerge avec le temps dans le verre. Avec une bouche voluptueuse et stratifiée, une profondeur magnifique en milieu de bouche, des tanins bien développés et une liqueur de caractère minéral en finale, il montre parfaitement la densité, la pureté, la précision et la vivacité de ce millésime et affiche ce mélange rare de richesse, d’intensité, d’élégance et de longueur qui sont les caractéristiques d’un vrai grand vin. Ce vin se situe sans conteste dans la lignée des 2009, 2010 et 2016 et évoluera pendant 40 ans ou plus.
Jane Anson 97 points www.decanter.com (at Primeur week tastings in Bordeaux, 01 May 2021) Takes time to fully show itself – perhaps more than ever this year, as there is so much noise surrounding an estate that was overseen during the growing season and vinification by the team under Nicolas Thienpont, but given its final blend by new owner Josephine Duffau-Lagarosse, who will also take care of ageing from this point. Things kick off with a raspberry and damson softness that is quickly overtaken by iris, peony, white rose aromatics, giving a push-and-pull between flowers and fruit on the attack. As the palate opens out, blueberry and raspberry fruits dominate, as do fennel and almond notes, giving a spicy kick before a saline-drenched mouthwatering finish. As ever with Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse, the wine combines delicacy with laser-like focus, and a build up of tannins that you barely notice until they kick back against the fruit. Takes a good few minutes before the softness that I found on the opening returns as the mid palate widens out, and the richly textured Merlot becomes dominant after a clear Cabernet Franc hit on the attack. It’s going to be fascinating watching what happens over the next decade at this estate, but the quality and potential of this terroir is unmistakable. Drinking Window 2029 – 2045
Lisa Perrotti-Brown 95-97 points www.robertparker.com Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) wafts out of the glass with a glamorous perfume of red roses, kirsch, garrigue and black raspberries, giving way to a core of ripe blackberries and juicy black plums, plus earthy hints of truffles and tar. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely laden with loads of very finely packed and fragrant red and black fruit layers, framed by multilayered grainy and satiny tannin textures and amazing freshness, finishing fantastically long and mineral laced.
Yves Beck 97 points www.yvesbeck.wine 83% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc Belle intensité florale et fruitée. Invitantes notes d’iris, de myrtilles et de poivre blanc. Rafraîchissantes nuances de menthe suivies de classiques notes crayeuses. En bouche le vin affiche de la tension et de l’ampleur. Il est doté de tanins aux grains fins, puissants, qui sont en phase avec le côté vif et pointu de la structure acide. Les éléments se mettent lentement en place et l’énergie se révèle en crescendo pour s’imposer d’une manière sereine. Touche saline en fin de bouche. Un vin puissant, élégant et ample. L’expression aromatique de la finale gagne en intensité avec un peu d’aération. La voix est tracée pour un très grand vin. 2026-2045
Antonio Galloni 95-98 points www.vinous.com The 2020 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is one of the most harmonious young wines I have tasted here in some time, maybe ever. All the elements are so well put together. The tannins that can usually be so fierce when the wine is young are totally covered by layers of inky dark fruit. Graphite, wild herbs, lavender, chocolate and gravel add layers of aromatic nuance. In the glass, the 2020 towers with its imposing, vertical structure and pure pedigree.
