Château Beauséjour

Pentimento Montagne-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Tried this again, 1st bottle was a dud! Made by Michele d'Aprix, an American woman who studied organic chemistry in college and ended up in Bordeaux. Chemical equation on the label is the equation for calcareous clay soil in the right bank of Bordeaux giving a unique character. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and notes of cedar and spice. Palate shows flavors of blackberry & cherry with tobacco and pepper spice. Drying tannins, medium+ finish, nice balance ending with earthy herbs & black pepper notes. — 4 years ago

Beautiful. Lighter in body than expected and possibly would’ve shown better a year or so ago but beautiful, nonetheless. — 6 months ago

Blend of 37% Roussanne, 35% Grenache Blanc and 28% Viognier, pale to medium lemon color with aromas of stone fruits, blossoms and floral spice. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and citrus zest with notes of honeysuckle and perfume spice. Medium+ finish, nice mouthfeel, good balance with acidity ending with fruit, floral notes and wet mineral character, very nice! — 3 years ago

Alsace Riesling flight, soul comparison. Prefer calcareous to granite, but think I still prefer Mosel! — 2 years ago

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Fantastic balance of fruits and mocha and earth. Enough hint of tannins, not enough to overwhelm. Yummy! — 3 years ago
