Small and family-run, Chateau Beausejour has earned its strong reputation thanks to the concerted efforts it’s made in recent times to boost the estate’s potential. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grow on the estate’s mineral-based terroir – predominantly clay with abundant limestone deposits – and under the strong management of Thienpont and Derenoncourt, selection is now more stringent, yields have been reduced and fruit is now picked at a higher degree of ripeness before being whole berry fermented in open top fermentation vats. Vinification is carried out on a parcel by parcel basis, which allows for greater precision during winemaking
