Saint Estèphe Cru Bourgeois Château Beauséjour 1987
Château Beauséjour, owned by J. Brossard, is located in the renowned Bordeaux region of France. This 1987 red wine holds the Cru Bourgeois classification under the Appellation Saint-Estèphe Contrôlée. The estate produces over 60 tonneaux of wine and has historically been placed among the leading "bourgeois supérieurs" of Saint-Estèphe, benefiting from high-quality terroirs and careful vinification methods.
Situated by the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains globally recognized for its historic estates, many of which are still ranked by the legendary 1855 classification. Within this region, Saint-Estèphe stands as the northernmost of the famous Médoc communal appellations, located just north of Pauillac. The soils here contain a higher proportion of clay and limestone compared to neighboring areas, which traditionally imparts extra firmness and structural depth to the wines.
In this part of the Left Bank, Cabernet Sauvignon plays a central role on the gravelly soils, while Merlot also remains an important component of the local blends. The 1987 vintage is described as light. The wine is bottled directly in the production region and has an alcohol content of 12.5%.
