95-96/100 James Suckling :« This is very driven and intense with so much limestone and salt character on the palate. Dark fruits, too. Linear and chewy, especially on the long finish. Beautiful center palate of fruit. »
93-96 /100 Antonio Galloni Vinous : “A rich, explosive wine, the 2017 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse hits the palate with serious depth and intensity. Charcoal, smoke, crushed rocks, lavender, incense and blackberry jam are all beautifully delineated in a vivid, arrestingly beautiful Saint-Émilion of the highest level. Huge, searing tannins are going to need many years to soften. Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is one of
the most structured, tannic Saint-Émilions of the vintage. Tasted three times.”
93-96/100 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator :
“Intense, with juicy layers of fig, boysenberry and blackberry compote coursing through. Bramble and spice notes fire up on the finish,which kicks in with an extra bolt of energy at the end. A showy wine that pulls it off.”
