Critic reviews
"A blend of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) reveals aromas of rich blackberries, spices and plums, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and lively palate that's pure and bright, with attractive energy and transparency, concluding with a long, saline finish. Yields were a modest 28 hectoliters per hectare, harvested between 23 September and 7 October, and an unusually high percentage of press wine contributes additional mid-palate density."
William Kelley, April 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2024 Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse was picked from September 23 to October 7 at 28 hl/ha. It will age in 40% new oak for a planned 14 to 16 months. Significantly, this is the first vintage to be vinified in their new vat room equipped with smaller vats. It requires 10 to 15 minutes to open up, which allows the wild strawberry, blackcurrant, briar and light chalky aromas to emerge from the glass. This is not powerful, though certainly precise and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant and supple tannins. It is very balanced, with an edginess on the back palate and a deft hint of black pepper toward the finish. This feels longer than its peers. The 2024 is a succinct Saint-Émilion that attests to the numerous improvements in the vineyard and winery."

"The 2024 Beauséjour is a wine that perfectly embodies the style of the year. A Saint-Émilion with no hard edges and exquisite balance, Beauséjour is an absolute delight. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, menthol and espresso open first, followed by a kick of savory Franc overtones that lend energy. Fine, polished tannins support the subtle yet understated finish. Beauséjour is one of the more delicate 2024s in Saint-Émilion, but there is no lack of depth. The blend is 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, with 7% press wines."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Lots of energy, showing pure black cherries, dried violets and citrus character that follow through to a medium body with very integrated tannins that give length and verve. A blend of 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc."
James Suckling, May 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Concentrated ruby, purity of fruit expression, chalky tannins with redcurrant and raspberry, lift and juice, white pepper spice, the team here manages to capture the best of the vintage and this is a wine with ageing ability and a quiet sense of joy. 3.36ph, 7% press wine in here, more than usual, using 114h half barrels for the press wine, long slow harvest. Josèphine Duffau Lagarosse co-owner and winemaker. 40% new oak (compared to 70% in 2022, for example), Axel Marchal and Julien Viaud consultants."
