A harmonious red wine that reflects the classic character of Bordeaux. It offers a deep ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruit, plums and subtle spicy notes with touches of tobacco. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with balanced acidity, fine tannins and a pleasant fruity finish. Great with softer meat dishes or cheeses.
Château Beauséjour
Château Beauséjour is located on the left bank of the Dordogne River, atop the hill of Montagne Saint Émilion. This château perfectly exemplifies the appellation, thanks to both its impressive and prestigious building and the excellent location of its vineyard.
All vineyards are situated on the summit of Montagne hill and are laid on a limestone base with chalky-clay soil. The plots are positioned on a gentle slope with southern and southwestern exposure, allowing for natural drainage and sunlight.
The age of the grapevines (some plots were planted in 1901, 1902, 1934, and 1946) and the exceptional chalky-clay soil produce distinctive wine ideal for long aging.
