Tasting notes
The 2012 Croix de Beauséjour is deep, round and absolutely impeccable. Rose petal, mint and sweet red plums are laced together in a sensual, polished Saint-Emilion to that is ideal for drinking now and over the next handful of years. This is a very serious second wine, especially within the context of the vintage, that is equal to or better than many grand vins. The 2012 is 66% Merlot and 34% Cabernet Franc. There are a number of talented people who work on the Beauséjour wines, including Nicolas Thienpont, David Suire, Stéphane Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu, but the most important thing is the terroir. And it is world class.

I really like the berries, coffee and walnuts. Full and flavorful. Big and and juicy wine. Velvety and intense. Needs two or three years to soften. Second wine of Beausejour Duffaur Lagarosse.
