Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 2009

Château Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) 2009 is a full-bodied Merlot-based red wine from the St-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. A blend of 77% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 vintage marks a sensational return to the very highest echelons of top-class Bordeaux for Château Beauséjour. "The 2009 Beauséjour is utter perfection, and man, what a wine. Deep, inky, incredibly concentrated, yet also silky and weightless, it delivers that rare mix of intensity and weightlessness on the palate. Offering layers of blackcurrants, crushed flowers, lead pencil, incense and loads of spice-box, it shows the intensity and rich of the 2009 vintage yet is perfectly balanced, has building tannins, and a huge finish. It’s as good as it gets." 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck, 2018
