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

A blend of 77% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse has a deep garnet color. It storms out of the glass with powerful notes of baked plums, boysenberry preserves, and licorice, giving way to nuances of black truffles, candied violets, and mossy tree bark, with a fragrant touch of sandalwood. The full-bodied palate is rich and impactful, delivering perfumed black fruits with a firm frame of velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and opulent. A gorgeous wine.Lisa Perrotti-Brown11th April 2024

Subdued on the opening notes, wrapped in dark pepper spice, capsicum, fennel, incense and crayon. A sweeter, richer black cherry fruit emerges after good 15 minutes of opening, and the shape evolves in the glass, showing greater delicacy and nuance as the limestone soils give lift and texture. This was the vintage that Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt arrived at the estate, and began to shake things up.Jane Anson10th October 2024

The 2009 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse has been eulogized elsewhere, but returning to this vintage after four years, it's a very good Saint-Émilion rather than a great one. It has a typically ripe and exotic bouquet with a heavy carapace of new oak that doesn't feel completely welded to the fruit. Certainly, there is immense concentration, which will appeal if that's your metric. The palate is intense and structured with layered black fruit, high-toned but lacking complexity. It has a hedonistic allure, and there is a fine grip, notwithstanding that it develops more nuance in the glass. Maybe give it another four to five years? Tasted at the Lia's Wings/book dinner at Medlar restaurant. Neal Martin26th December 2023
