i. Biography
Prisca Courtin has co-owned Château Beauséjour in Saint-Émilion, France, since 2021. The work there is tied to place first: a mineral-driven terroir, handled for a fresher, more elegant register. At the estate, the emphasis is on clarity over weight and precision over excess, with more Cabernet Franc in the blend and exacting winemaking used to sharpen what the vineyard already gives. The result is a style that reads as composed and finely drawn, with restraint used as a tool of expression.
The Essentials Jacques Courtin’s lineage sits behind Prisca Courtin, granddaughter of the founder of Clarins cosmetics, and the family name carries a long association with polish, craft, and attention to detail. That background gives her position at Château Beauséjour a clear continuity of standards: one form of refinement meeting another, with discernment and presentation still doing the work. The line is plainspoken and public-facing, with business, identity, and family name all held in the same frame.
