Vingården ligger lige ved siden af Chateau Ausone på den allerbedste beliggenhed med det bedste terroir i St. Emilion, ren kalksten. Den har været drevet af Nicolas Thienpont og Stephane Derenoncourt siden 2008-årgangen. Siden den store 1990-årgang har vi vidst, hvilke enorme vine der kan produceres her. Arbejdet gav pote i 2008 og 2009 med sensationelle resultater. 2010 er helt sikkert på samme niveau igen, om end med en anden, meget finere, mere burgundisk stil, som i 1990. Sort med en let violet kant. Berusende duft, sorte kirsebær, søde røde kirsebær, moreller. Masser af cassis, ribs, lidt fersken nedenunder, mango med flydende nougat, mørk chokolade, praline. Det er overflødigt at drikke. Vinen er så enorm i næsen, at den er på niveau med de største bourgogner, det er Richebourg-stil. Det er endda 100 point for næsen. Beausejour Duffau, bestemt ikke Bordeaux. Kirsebær og blomme. Det kunne også være en superfin Barolo Monfortino fra Giacomo Conterno. En eksplosion i munden, et utroligt angreb af friskhed og race. Meget høj mineralitet. Meget salt, stenpulver, så kommer hurtig cassis og ribs, umådelig lang, altid dansende, altid legende. Vinen er aldrig overfed. Næsten 14 % alkohol, og alligevel er alting så elegant og fint. Dette er stor filmkunst. Egentlig ufattelig, men stadig meget bedre end 2009 og 2008. Da den ikke har nogen store forgængere siden 1990, og jeg ofte har smagt 1990, tror jeg, at denne årgang vil blive endnu bedre på sigt og gå meget mere i retning af finesse, race og finesse. Perfektion i Saint Emilion! 99-100/100

Parker om: Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2010 is a more structured, masculine and steely version of the utterly compelling 2009. Tasting like black raspberry confiture with subtle notes of graphite and crushed chalk along with enormous floral notes, the wine displays a slightly smoky character but a voluptuous attack, mid-palate and finish. Its is full-bodied and massively endowed, with every component perfectly etched in this extraordinary wine, which should be drinkable after 7-8 years of bottle age and last for a half-century or more. This is brilliant stuff. Composed of 73% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon from yields of 21 hectoliters per hectare, the alcohol is the highest ever registered at Beausejour-Duffau, coming in at 15%, but remarkably, the pH is modest and the acids relatively elevated, giving the wine an astonishing freshness and precision that is hard to believe in view of its power, density and length. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2055+100/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Beausejour Duffau-Lagarrosse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The color is still inky, like a barrel sample. And that is just part of the story. The nose knocks you out with its power, complexity, and depth. On the palate, the wine is insanely concentrated. But don't let that fool you. This is no one trick pony! The waves of fruit just keep on coming. They are dark, pure sweet and taste like you took a basket of fresh picked plums and cherries at their perfect level of ripeness and squeezed them over rocks and stone before placing all that gorgeous juice in the bottle. This is a legend in the making that will be talked about for future generations. The texture, weight, density, and quality of the fruit is surreal. There were only 1,100 cases produced, so if this sounds like your style of wine, you should have this in your cellar. 100/100
