Deze fantastisch mooie en zeldzame tweede wijn van Beauséjour Duffau Lagarosse is méér dan stardust met briljante « fraîcheur, densité, précision » gepresenteerd door Joséphine Duffau Lagarosse. Het was een verbluffende verschijning dat parmantig stond naast de Grand Vin en eigenlijk vlotjes in de buurt kwam in een appetijtelijke, fijne stijl. Mooie dagen volgen met deze voor klanten die het inzicht hebben dit op te pikken. Topkwaliteit voor de fijnbekken die meer weten onder ons. 95% Merlot en 5% Cabernet Franc. Prachtig en goedgekeurd door Vyncke-Daels. IN DE PERS 90 William Kelley - The Wine Advocate - robertperker.com (Maart 2025) The 2022 Croix de Beauséjour is the estate's second wine, a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc raising in 20% new oak, with the balance once-used barrels and concrete vats. Offering up aromas of sweet blackberries and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and lively, with powdery tannins that assert themselves on the gently grippy finish. Drink 2025-2035. 91 Antonio Galloni - vinous.com (Januari 2025) The 2022 Croix de Beauséjour is a delightful second wine. Aromatic and light on its feet, this mid-weight Saint-Emilioin is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, spice and new leather add layers of understated nuance. It's all class and refinement here. Drink 2025-2034. 89 Neal Martin - vinous.com (Januari 2025) The 2022 Croix de Beauséjour, which saw 20% new oak, has a light, very subtle pine-tinged bouquet that needs time to open in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with blueberry and vanillary notes, a slightly granular texture and a sweet core of fruit. There is plenty of sucrosity on the finish, though tasting it a few weeks later, it had tightened up nicely with a more poeppery finish. Therefore, give it two or three years in bottle. Tasted twice.
