Product Description
Winemaker's Notes
In 1992, Jean-Claude Rouzaud, oenologist and Board Chairman of Champagne Louis Roederer, acquired and combined two Cru Bourgeois vineyards in the heart of the Medoc's prestigious Saint-Estèphe appellation: Château Picard and Château Beauséjour. Together, these properties make up what is now called Château Haut-Beauséjour.

"A generous and round-textured red here. Full to medium body. Juicy and fruity. Pretty young wine — the best from here in a long time."
