There is a specific point in the day when the shadow of the Saint-Martin de Mazerat church falls over Château Beauséjour. Built between the end of the 11th century and the start of the 12th, this religious structure, which once hosted Saint-Émilion’s canons, reminds us of the promontory’s rich history and geography – with sacred and cultural roots that run just as deep as its vines.
On this limestone slope, concealing a labyrinthine network of quarries in which Beauséjour’s wines are aged, generations of men and women have left their mark. Most notably among them is the Duffau-Lagarrosse family, who has worked tirelessly for nearly 170 years to produce wines receiving global critical acclaim. Since the creation of the Saint-Émilion classification in 1955, Beauséjour has belonged to the inner circle of châteaux awarded Premier Grand Cru Classé Premier B status.
« With Prisca Courtin, we are equally committed to the family legacy as to the truest possible expression of Saint-Émilion’s terroir. We want to create elegant, subtle wines, that have body but, above all, lots of freshness. »
