Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse

Château Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarrosse is a compact 6.8-hectare estate on Saint-Émilion’s limestone plateau, with south- and south-west-facing vines rooted in clay-limestone soils. The property remained with the Duffau-Lagarrosse family from 1847 until a change of ownership in April 2021. It is now led by Prisca Courtin and Joséphine Duffau-Lagarrosse, a partnership that carries family memory into a new chapter.

Beauséjour has belonged to Saint-Émilion’s first classified tier since the classification began in 1955 and appears among the Premiers Grands Crus Classés in the 2022 list. Merlot provides the vineyard’s core, with Cabernet Franc alongside; every parcel is picked by hand before fermentation in concrete. Its appeal is rooted in proportion rather than scale: old vines, a narrow strip of limestone and a deliberately focused expression of place.
