Château beauséjour, fronsac 2016, cuvée Prestige, 100% merlot

Cherry, black currant, toast, tar, oak. The palate is well made, with a roundness to it, some savory notes, a very soft mouthfeel, almost velvety, some carressing tanins in the rear, a real nice fruity, savory finish that lasts for a long time. Great stuff! — a year ago

Purpley (look and taste!), earthy (probably a Virgo) and it does have that Virgo-esque ability to be heady (Ready to conquer nose! Tannins! So much!) but, again, earthy and grounded. With a hint of mint. — 3 years ago

2016 vintage. Nicolas Thienpont is a great winemaker at 3 Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classés Beauséjour HDL, Pavie Macquin and Larcis Ducasse +Grand Cru Classé Berliquet + a few estates in the Côtes de Bordeaux). This Côtes de Francs is probably the most humble in his stable, but it's a very serious wine. A blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, it features a dark red colour colour with a purplish rim, a complex nose with blueberry and strawberry fruit, flowers and cocoa powder. The fruit is packed in a tight ripe tannic structure, with balancing acidity and serious length. I would recommend to give this overachiever a few years of bottle age. Abv. 14,5%. Great value at 12,90 euro. — 4 years ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, tropical and white flesh fruit. On the palate flavors of pear and apple flavors with lemon citrus zest and grassy notes on a balanced structure with lively acidity. Pleasant medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb citrus and mineral character. Drink now no aging benefit. — 3 months ago

Vintage 2021 | Maligned by winelovers in the Netherlands because it has a sweet touch. I bought anyway. And I drink always with food. This rosé is perfect with my paté as first dish. I combined afterwards with Chinese stir-fried beef, tomato and egg. Absolute lovely effort, especially as a food wine. Small nose but awesome balance. — a year ago

2020 vintage. The last vintage for this wine as it was bought from the Bécot family ( owners of Beauséjour-Bécot) by the owners of Haut-Brion in 2021. It will be incorporated into Château Quintus (which is a merger of 3 estates: Tertre-Daugay, L'Arrosée and Grand-Pontet). Many Saint-Emilion estates disappeared, incorporated into other estates, some very good wines sadly disappeared like Curé Bon La Madeleine (now into Canon), Cadet-Piola (now into Soutard) and so on. The fact that Grand Cru Classés can legally be incorporated into Premier Grands Crus Classés tells you that you have to take the classification with more than a grain of salt. A bit shy on the nose, even after a few hours. Medium-bodied, nice value for a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé. — 2 years ago
