Château Beausejour Hértiers Duffau - Lagarosse
Until 2009, Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse was considered a winery, creating a brilliant harvest and nothing more. It is about the 1990s, which gained its legendary status thanks to Robert Parker, the guru of Bordeaux and the most influential man in the world of wine, who scored the maximum 100 points. The success of this winery today is mainly due to Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt, who begin a process of improvement and modernization at every stage of production. The vineyards are small, 6.5 hectares, sown with 81% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, located in the highest part of the plateau of St. Emilion. The style of wine at Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse is unique in the best vintages, dense, rich and vibrant.

Merlot
Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
